Title: Tear down that wall
Review: Noonan makes a great case for Reagan being a great President. I think a little is hero-worship for someone she worked closely for the white house but nevertheless she backs it up with stories throughout his life of how he demonstrated character and did what he said he would do as President. Also her insider approach allows the reader to learn more about the man than we thought we knew. I think the most interesting part is how Ronnie stuck to his guns in dealing with the Soviet leadership and it proved to be the right thing to do. He was a leader who didn't do a mission-shift midway through his presidency nor did he lead by polls. Personally, I think Noonan jumped around a little too much at the beginning but I still give it 5 stars as I could not seem to put it down. Even though I admired Reagan before, my admiration grew as I read this book.
