Title: Simple Thoughts From A Simple Man
Product review: I've read this book, and I can honestly say that there is nothing surprising here. The core material for this text may have come from Reagan's own hand, but it is still nothing more than a timeworn repetition of the McCarthy-era blather his speechwriters penned for him way back in the 1950s. It's sad that Reagan could never nudge his petrified mind beyond this sort of black & white world view, and it's equally sad that he continued publicly preaching it right through the 1980s. What's even sadder, though, is the sheer number of people he deluded with this Simple Simon message.This book is a valuable historical document, and people should read it for that reason. It will leave future researchers scratching their heads in wonder at the gullibility of the American public.
