Summaries and Reviews
Summary
The author shares her unique insight into Ronald Reagan, arguing that his character and courage made him the object of reverence and respect in America.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the bestselling author of What I Saw at the Revolution comes an elegiac tribute to one of America's most beloved leaders.
It is twenty yearsâa full generationâsince Ronald Reagan first walked into the White House and ignited a revolution. From the beginning, he enjoyed the American people's affection but now, as he approaches the end of his life, he has received what he deserved even more: their deep respect.
What was the wellspring of his greatness? Peggy Noonan, bestselling author of the classic Reagan-era memoir What I Saw at the Revolution, former speechwriter, and now a columnist and contributing editor for The Wall Street Journal, argues that the secret of Reagan's success was no secret at all. It was his characterâhis courage, his kindness, his persistence, his honesty, and his almost heroic patience in the face of setbacksâthat was the most important element of his success.
The one thing a man must bring into the White House with him if he is to succeed, Noonan contends, is a character that people come to recognize as high, sturdy, and reliable.
Noonan, renowned for her special insight into Ronald Reagan's history and personality, brings her own reflections to Reagan to bear in When Character Was King and discloses never-before-told stories from the former president's family, friends, and White House colleagues to reveal the true nature of a man even his opponents now view as a maker of big history.
Marked by incisive wit and elegant prose, When Character Was King will enlighten and move readers.
