In The President Will See You Now, devoted Reagan insider Peggy Grande shares behind-the-scenes stories, intimate moments, and insights into one of America's most beloved presidents. Grande, who started in the Office of Ronald Reagan as a college student and earned her way into a coveted role as the president's Executive Assistant, offers an unparalleled perspective on the post-presidency of a political icon. Grande's stories and never-before- seen photos show a unique, private side to a public figure and leader who reshaped conservatism, ushered in an era of prosperity, and helped spur the end of the Cold War. Grande reveals what day-to-day life was like in Reagan's California office, including the former president's relationship with the First Lady and his interactions with friends, world leaders, and everyday Americans. Grande recalls how Reagan kept a vigorous schedule for years after he left the White House, his robust engagement with others, and ongoing political advocacy. Despite his eventual Alzheimer's diagnosis, Grande shows how Ronald Reagan remained true to core beliefs, his gentlemanly kindness, and his undying hope for his country. Today the Reagan legacy looms over American politics more than ever. Grande reminds readers why: When Ronald Reagan was president, we not only loved ourselves but also loved America, and the American values he represented: faith, optimism, and patriotism. 520 The author relates her personal experiences while working as an executive assistant for President Ronald Reagan, describing everyday life and her relationship with First Lady Nancy Reagan. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Reagan, Ronald|xLast years. 600 10 Reagan, Ronald|xFriends and associates. 600 10 Grande, Peggy. 600 17 Grande, Peggy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01987469 600 17 Reagan, Ronald.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00036392 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Ex-presidents|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Administrative assistants|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 7 Administrative assistants.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00796827 650 7 Ex-presidents.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00917463 650 7 Friendship.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 Last years of a person's life.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01185275 650 7 Presidents.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01075723 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aGrande, Peggy.|tPresident will see you now|dNew York : Hachette Books, 2017|z9780316396455|w(DLC) 2016044187 |w(OCoLC)951764632 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0018973373|zFound on Boundless
