Michael Reagan, the eldest son of Ronald Reagan, realized something.
All his life people have been asking him the same question: “What was your dad really like?”
So much had been written about his dad’s life, his politics, his Hollywood career . . . but little was ever revealed about Ronald Reagan the man — the private man, home with his wife, kids, and friends.
And nobody alive knows more about who Reagan really was than Ronald Reagan’s eldest son, Michael himself.
The young Reagan decided to reveal the true face of his father — good and bad — so that people could learn from one of the greats in American history.
For the first time, his new book,
"Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan," reveals Michael’s personal insights into the qualities that defined his dad — and can help any of us succeed in our relationships and life.
