<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Ronald Reagan is a revered and popular president who inspired America and shaped the future more than any other modern president. Written by the author of the national bestseller "Forrest Gump, " this is the first book about the Great Communicator written especially for young adults.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the author of <i>Forest Gump</i>, <i>The Aviators</i>, and <i>The Generals</i>...</b> <br>He was one of America's true greats. As president, he changed the world, developing a successful strategy for defeating Communism, toppling the Soviet Union, and liberating Eastern Europe (while hardly firing a shot). And just as important, he restored an America that had found itself mired in a malaise of falling living standards, moral decay, and what seemed like inevitable decline. <p/>Though he was our oldest president, Reagan acted as a tonic, rejuvenating America's economy, restoring her confidence, and attracting a majority of young voters won over by his vision of making America once again a shining city on a hill. <p/>In this superlative biography for young adults, bestselling author Winston Groom--author of <i>Forrest Gump</i>--gives us the full Reagan, from his Midwestern American boyhood, to his early career as a radio sports announcer, to his days as a Hollywood star and his extraordinary political career as a union leader, governor of California, and president of the United States. <p/>Covering the gamut of Reagan's dramatic life, <i>Ronald Reagan: Our 40th President</i> is essential reading, as inspiring as its subject.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Winston Francis Groom, Jr. (born March 23, 1943) is an American novelist and non-fiction writer.
