Known as â?oThe Great Communicator,â?? he shared his vision of the greatness of America while guiding the nation to an unprecedented prosperity and renewed vigor. When President Reagan assumed the presidency in 1981, Americaâ?Ts economy ebbed with 12 percent inflation and 8 million unemployed. Reaganâ?Ts predecessor spoke of a national â?omalaiseâ??. Abroad, Americaâ?Ts adversary, the Soviet Union, was expanding its influence. The Soviet Unionâ?Ts nuclear weapons capability surpassed that of the United States and previous nuclear arms treaties were failures. President Reaganâ?Ts goals were simple:To reduce the size of the federal governmentLower taxesStabilize the economyRestore the belief of the American people in their governmentWin the Cold WarWhen President Reagan left office in 1989, these goals had been achieved:Americans were enjoying the longest uninterrupted span of prosperity in the nationâ?Ts history. After a massive military build-up, the largest in peacetime, President Reagan had negotiated a nuclear arms treaty that greatly reduced the threat of nuclear war. By expanding the military, he achieved peace through strength and set the stage for the demise of the Soviet Union. From the time he arrived on the political scene in 1964-throughout his presidency and beyond, Ronald Reagan used his speeches to inspire and reinvigorate America. When he spoke, Reagan said he was preaching a sermon. The American people saw his vision of America and his dreams for the future, and they overwhelmingly responded; he was re-elected in 1984 by the largest number of electoral votes in the nationâ?Ts history. In this collection of twenty-eight speeches spanning the Reagan era, with an Introduction from his son, Michael Reagan, you may read for yourself his inspirational sermons. From his first speech in the political arena in 1964 to his Last Letter to America, informing Americans of his Alzheimerâ?Ts disease, Ronald Reaganâ?Ts words show a profound belief in God, freedom, individualism, limited government, and his great love for his country.
