audiobook The Haitian Revolution and the Early United States: Histories; Textualities; Geographies (Early American Studies) by From Dillon Elizabeth Maddock in History

Description

On the hundredth anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth comes the twentieth-anniversary edition of Peggy Noonan’s critically acclaimed bestseller What I Saw at the Revolution; for which she provides a new Preface that demonstrates this book’s timeless relevance. As a special assistant to the president; Noonan worked with Ronald Reagan—and with Vice President George H. W. Bush—on some of their most memorable speeches. Noonan shows us the world behind the words; and her sharp; vivid portraits of President Reagan and a host of Washington’s movers and shakers are rendered in inimitable; witty prose. Her priceless account of what it was like to be a speechwriter among bureaucrats; and a woman in the last bastion of male power; makes this a Washington memoir that breaks the mold—as spirited; sensitive; and thoughtful as Peggy Noonan herself.
