The Reagan Diaries

Autor: Ronald Reagan

Número de Páginas: 788

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Reading these diaries, Americans will find it easier to understand how Reagan did what he did for so long . . . They paint a portrait of a president who was engaged by his job and had a healthy perspective on power.” —Jon Meacham, Newsweek During his two terms as the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine occurrences of his presidency. To read these diaries—now compiled into one volume by noted historian Douglas Brinkley and filled with Reagan’s trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor—is to gain a unique understanding of one of our nation’s most fascinating leaders.

President Reagan

Autor: Lou Cannon

Número de Páginas: 920

Hailed by the New Yorker as "a superlative study of a president and his presidency," Lou Cannon's President Reagan remains the definitive account of our most significant presidency in the last fifty years. Ronald Wilson Reagan, the first actor to be elected president, turned in the performance of a lifetime. But that performance concealed the complexities of the man, baffling most who came in contact with him. Who was the man behind the makeup? Only Lou Cannon, who covered Reagan through his political career, can tell us. The keenest Reagan-watcher of them all, he has been the only author to reveal the nature of a man both shrewd and oblivious. Based on hundreds of interviews with the president, the First Lady, and hundreds of the administration's major figures, President Reagan takes us behind the scenes of the Oval Office. Cannon leads us through all of Reagan's roles, from the affable cowboy to the self-styled family man; from the politician who denounced big government to the president who created the largest peace-time deficit; from the statesman who reviled the Soviet government to the Great Communicator who helped end the cold war.

Ronald Reagan

Autor: Michael Schaller

Número de Páginas: 124

In this era of polarized politics, the image of President Ronald Reagan stands as a litmus test for party loyalty. To the conservative right, Reagan is the Great Communicator, a venerated icon of independent American spirit who restored national pride and power. To those on the left, he is an amiable dunce who distracted voters with anecdotes while dismantling the government to serve corporate interests. But as Michael Schaller reveals in his eye-opening biography, both extremes fall short of capturing the true essence of this captivating and contradictory man. This succinct, eloquent narrative reveals the dramatic force of the man behind the image. Schaller provides a poignant account of Reagan's struggles and achievements, from his small-town upbringing in rural Illinois, the son of an itinerant alcoholic, to his cinematic success in Hollywood, entry into California politics, and meteoric rise to the White House. Following the path of his life, Schaller illuminates Reagan's appeal to Americans of all regions and backgrounds, highlights his momentous impact on American politics, and describes his determination, once in power, to live up to his firm, long-established beliefs and...

President Reagan

Autor: Richard Reeves

Número de Páginas: 592

Twenty-five years after Ronald Reagan became president, Richard Reeves has written a surprising and revealing portrait of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. As he did in his bestselling books President Kennedy: Profile of Power and President Nixon: Alone in the White House, Reeves has used newly declassified documents and hundreds of interviews to show a president at work day by day, sometimes minute by minute. President Reagan: The Triumph of Imagination is the story of an accomplished politician, a bold, even reckless leader, a gambler, a man who imagined an American past and an American future -- and made them real. He is a man of ideas who changed the world for better or worse, a man who understands that words are often more important than deeds. Reeves shows a man who understands how to be President, who knows that the job is not to manage the government but to lead the nation. In many ways, a quarter of a century later, he is still leading. As his vice president, George H. W. Bush, said after Reagan was shot and hospitalized in 1981: "We will act as if he were here." He is a heroic figure if not always a hero. He did not destroy communism, as his...

El esplendor y las miserias de Los Ángeles y Hollywood. Una magnífica indagación en los secretos más inconfesables de una ciudad mítica. En la ciudad de Los Ángeles el sol brilla prácticamente los trescientos sesenta y cinco días del año; en una de sus colinas el legendario cartel de Hollywood anuncia la fábrica de sueños más potente del mundo y en otras se suceden las mansiones. Varias de estas fastuosas residencias forman parte de este libro, que reconstruye la desmesurada historia de la ciudad a través de cinco familias emblemáticas, con su glamour, sus excesos, sus secretos de alcoba, sus extravagancias, su acumulación de riqueza y poder y sus destructivas tensiones.

Ecrits personnels

Autor: Ronald Reagan

Número de Páginas: 577

La 4e de couverture indique : "" Nous entendions changer le pays et, en fait, nous avons changé le monde. " Ronald Reagan, Farewell Adress, 11 janvier 1989. Pendant des années, Ronald Reagan a écrit, à la main, des milliers de pages. Celles-ci ont pris la forme de lettres, d'articles de presse, de discours ou d'essais brefs destinés à la radio. Ces pages sont restées enfermées dans les archives de la Ronald Reagan Library pendant plus de dix ans, jusqu'à ce que les éditeurs de ce livre les découvrent. Elles portent sur des sujets très divers : politique étrangère et relations avec l'Union soviétique, économie et fiscalité, systèmes sociaux et problèmes liés à la drogue. Elles font apparaître un Ronald Reagan étonnamment moderne, parfois visionnaire. Elles permettent de voir surtout que, loin des stéréotypes ambiants, Ronald Reagan était un homme d'esprit autant qu'un homme d'action, et qu'il a été le concepteur de l'ensemble des décisions cruciales ayant marqué sa présidence. Les Écrits personnels de Ronald Reagan éclairent d'un jour nouveau l'histoire de la fin du XXe siècle."

Jacques Lacan

Autor: Élisabeth Roudinesco

Número de Páginas: 1355

¿Quién era realmente Jacques Lacan? ¿El heredero legítimo de Sigmund Freud, el mayor teórico del psicoanálisis de nuestro siglo, el último gran pensador francés o, como afirman sus detractores, un genial impostor? En su extraordinaria y polémica biografía, Elisabeth Roudinesco, psicoanalista formada en la École Freudienne de París y autora de una canónica historia del psicoanálisis, traza un retrato del maestro que abarca casi medio siglo de los avatares del pensamiento en Francia. En el corazón del libro, los personajes que ayudarán a trazar el retrato del gran protagonista: los maestros, los amigos, los discípulos, los rivales, el círculo familiar. Pero también Koyré, Kojève, Bataille, Heidegger, Sartre, Lévi-Strauss, Jakobson. Roudinesco, como afirma Toni Negri, ha escrito algo más que una biografía, aunque también lo sea, y excelente. La suya es una «tarea de alto riesgo: la de hacer coincidir la biografía con los puntos centrales de la génesis, el desarrollo y la culminación del sistema filosófico de Lacan», un pensador que ha conseguido «contagiar con la peste del análisis, de la crítica y de la libertad a la sociedad normalizada del...

The Reagan I Knew

Autor: William F. Buckley Jr.

Número de Páginas: 304

No two people were more important to American conservatism in the postwar era than William F. Buckley Jr. and Ronald Reagan. Buckley's writings provided the intellectual underpinnings, while Reagan brought the conservative movement into the White House. They met in 1961 when Reagan introduced a speech by Buckley. When nobody could turn on the microphone, Reagan climbed out a window, walked along a ledge to the locked control room, broke in, and flipped the correct switch. Buckley later described this moment as “a nifty allegory of Reagan's approach to foreign policy: the calm appraisal of a situation, the willingness to take risks, and then the decisive moment leading to lights and sound.” For over thirty years, the two men shared jokes and vacations, advised each other on politics, and counseled each other's children. The Reagan I Knew traces the evolution of an extraordinary friendship between two American political giants.
