About This Item
Harper Collins, New York (2001), 2001. Hardcover. Collectible, Fine/Near Fine. Octavo, hardcover, fine in fine white pictorial dj with a handsome Reagan waving on cover. First printing. Collectible. 228 pp. Former aide and longtime family friend, Michael Deaver first met Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for govenor of Claifornia and latyer served him in Sacramento and Washington D.C., as the presidents deputy chief of staff. Deaver writes of Reagan he has known: a man who was shy and deplored talking about himself, who would rather spend a party talking to a laborer than policy wonks; a man whose convictions remained unchanged over the course of his life, who never used pollsters to to decide his position on issues; a man whose idea of relaxation was riding a horse, fixing fence posts, and chopping wood until his muscles ached and his hands blistered.
Synopsis
A warm, intimate portrait of President Ronald Reagan by his confidant and friend of over 35 years.Former aide and long–time family friend Michael Deaver first met Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for governor of California and later served him in Sacramento and Washington, DC, as the president's deputy chief of staff. In A Different Drummer, Reagan emerges as charismatic and unwaveringly optimistic, a devoted husband and dedicated leader, disciplined and tough. As Deaver points out in his introduction, worked eight years doing the toughest job on earth; criss–crossed the world; and survived an assassin's bullet, a devastating riding accident, cancer, and brain surgery all after he turned seventy.'Deaver also shares the lows, including the tough times that would test the strength of their friendship. Finally, he shares a look at Reagan today as he battles Alzheimer's disease. It is Nancy Reagan's finest hour, Deaver writes, a validation of the greatest love story he has ever known.
