Inscription reads: To Bob, colleague, ally in the journalism wars, and friend. All the best, Ken Walsh, February 1998. Topics covered include Middle American, Actor, Ideologue, Politician, President: First Term; President: Second Term; and Reagan's Legacy. This is one of the Biography book series. It is also a Balliett & Fitzgerald Book. This book is based on the A&E Television Network Biography series. Political correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh examines the roots of the man who went from small-town middle America to Hollywood and the White House, and tells readers how Ronald Reagan developed his unflagging belief in the American dream. Kenneth T. Walsh (born May 1947) is an American journalist. From 1994 to 1995, he was president of the White House Correspondents' Association. Kenneth T. Walsh is the chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, author of "The Presidency" column for The Report at U.S. News and writer of a daily blog called "Ken Walsh's Washington". He joined the magazine in 1984 as a congressional correspondent and has covered the presidency, presidential campaigns, and national politics since 1986. Walsh is one of the longest-serving White House correspondents in history. He has won the two most prestigious awards for White House coverage: the Aldo Beckman Award (twice) and the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency (three times). In reporting on the presidency, Walsh has traveled to more than 70 countries and covered a wide range of events, including many superpower summits and international conferences. He has conducted numerous interviews over the years with Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Herbert Walker Bush, and Ronald Reagan. Building on exclusive interviews and access to major figures of the Reagan era such as Michael Deaver and Mikhail Gorbachev, Kenneth Walsh, longtime White House correspondent of U.S. News and World Report, shows us a more complex and compelling man than either end of the political spectrum would have us believe-an arch-conservative with roots in FDR's New Deal; a divorce who rarely saw his own children, yet lectured America on family values; a rabid hater of Communism who once belonged to leftist Hollywood organizations and later brokered peace with the Soviet Union. Though Reagan regularly blurred reality and fiction to create what he-and so many millions of Americans-wished to be true, his motivations were not always political, and here you will learn what drove Ronald Reagan from a small flat in Tampico, Illinois, to the White House, and what obstacles he overcame to get there.
