"Insightful, moving, powerful - and true. If you want to learn about my father as a president and as a man, read How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life." --- Michael Reagan

In 1982, Peter Robinson was hired as a speechwriter in the Reagan White House. One of a core group of writers who became informal experts on Reagan, Robinson absorbed not just the president's politics but his manner and way of carrying himself. And the example Reagan set - as a confident, principled, generous-spirited older man who inspired those around him - molded Robinson just as he was coming into his own. "The longer I studied Ronald Reagan," he says, "the more lessons I learned." At the core of How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life are ten life lessons Robinson learned from Reagan - principles that have guided his own life ever since. Yet it also offers a warm and unforgettable portrait of a great yet ordinary man who touched the individuals around him as surely as he did his millions of admirers around the world. The result is nothing less than a love story - an account of one man's profound respect and affection for the president who changed his life.

"The best portrait of Reagan this side of the Reagan Library." --- William F. Buckley Jr.
