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.
I suppose it is not terrible that this book has been among my unread books for six years. When it first came out in 1993, the book was recommended to me for Noonan's writing. She is a fine speech and column writer. I read the Wall Street Journal column she continues to produce. But some books, no matter how well-written, are books of the past. I need to catch up with more current books rather than continue to hoard this book. It will be released soon. I hope someone will enjoy it.
