"We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory." -Ronald Reagan, 1976 Republican National Convention The New Reagan Revolution reveals new insights into the life, thoughts, and actions of the man who changed the world during the 1980s. The challenges and threats we face today are eerily similar to the conditions in the world before the beginning of the Reagan era. The good news is that we already know what works. Ronald Reagan has given us the blueprint. This book is not merely a diagnosis of our nation's ills, but a prescription to heal our nation. In these pages, you'll find a plan for returning America to its former greatness, soundness, and prosperity. It's the plan Ronald Reagan developed over years of study, observation, and reflection. It's a plan he announced to the nation, straight from his heart, when he was called to the podium during the 1976 Republican National Convention. It's the plan he put into action during his eight years in office as the most effective president of the 20th century. This plan saved America once and can do so again."Ronald Reagan brought America back from the brink of economic ruin and tossed the Evil Empire into the dustbin of history. That is why I call him, with true reverence and the highest of esteem, Ronaldus Magnus. Now his elder son, Michael Reagan, has written the definitive book on Ronald Reagan's vision and achievements. He writes from a close-up perspective no other conservative can match. My friend, Michael Reagan has given us the blueprint for a new Reagan revolution-and he has given Ronald Reagan back to us again. Read it, learn it, live it, love it!" -Rush Limbaugh, the #1 radio talk show host in America"Ronald Reagan issued a call to arms and led a revolution against those who claimed that America's best days were behind her. He restored our crumbling economy and collapsed the Soviet Union. Today, Michael Reagan calls us back to Ronald Reagan's principles, which saved America once-and can do so again. The New Reagan Revolution is a practical agenda for refreshing the tree of liberty and returning America to her constitutional roots. This book tells you what you can do to preserve the legacy of freedom for your children and grandchildren. Read it-then live it." -Mark Levin, talk show host and New York Times bestselling author of Liberty and Tyranny"From a perspective of Ronald Reagan that no one else can offer, Michael Reagan not only shares with us poignant, revealing stories about his father, but takes us inside the mind of the man who inspired a rekindling of America's founding ideals and with them a reawakening of the American spirit. Even better, Michael shows us how the application of these timeless principles can lead us to overcome the most difficult challenges we currently face as a nation -- challenges that are strikingly similar to those Ronald Reagan confronted and conquered." --David Limbaugh, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crimes Against Liberty"Michael Reagan, the elder son of the greatest president of the 20th century, has written the Reaganite roadmap for restoring America's greatness. Only Michael Reagan could have written a book which embraces the full range of Ronald Reagan's intellect and spirit, from his unyielding toughness at Reykjavík and Berlin to his deep compassion for the oppressed. He shows us how to apply the timeless principles of Reagan conservatism to the fast-changing world in which we live. Must reading for every true conservative." -Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House"Who better than Michael Reagan to explain to us how Ronald Reagan is not only a great man of history but also a visionary for our future?
