The New York Times bestselling memoir of Ronald Reagan by his longtime aide and friend

""These are memories of a friend and they span over the 35 years that I have known and loved Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Primarily anecdotal, there will be no footnotes, simply my best efforts to reconstruct these years and what they have meant to me.""—Michael Deaver

RONALD REAGAN AND ME will be comprised of six parts:

The Early Years: Deaver and his first meeting with Reagan during his campaign for governor of California in 1966. His first impressions of Reagan's his management style, media savvy and incredible ability to communicate.

Sincerely, Ronald Reagan: Never-before-published excerpts from letters Reagan wrote to people of various backgrounds.

The Campaigner: On the stump during the presidential campaigns.

Mr. President: Reagan in action in the Oval Office. How he changed after he was shot, and his battles with Congress and Communism.

The Long Goodbye: With Nancy's cooperation, a look at the Reagans' struggle with Alzheimers and the impact it has had on their marriage and the family.

      While much about Reagan can be debated, there is no debating the significance of his relationship with Deaver. Or that Deaver is a great reader. Known as the public relations whiz in Reagan's White House, Deaver has a voice that sounds like John Chancellor's--deep, clear, and expressive. There is not a stilted moment in this audiobook. Deaver sounds like he is sitting at the fireplace telling stories about a friend. In this case, that friend was a California governor and U.S. president. Presenting a saintly portrait of Reagan, this is hagiography, not biography; Deaver speaks only of episodes about Reagan and aspects of his character. Most touching is the post-White House portrait of Reagan, which describes the impact of Alzheimer's on the former president. M.L.C.
