Synopsis

From the time he arrived on the political scene in 1964 - throughout his presidency and beyond, Ronald Reagan - used his speeches to inspire and reinvigorate America. When he spoke, Reagan, said, he was preaching a sermon. The American people saw his vision of America and his dreams for the future and they overwhelmingly responded; he was re-elected in 1984 by the largest number of electoral votes in the nation's history. Here in this collection of twenty-eight speeches spanning the Reagan era, readers can find inspiration in Reagan's sermons. Ronald Regan's words show a profound belief in God, freedom, individualism, limited government, and his great love for his country.

Well, this was an interesting mash-up between the Mathew Hope series and the 87th Precinct series or, more accurately, between Steve Carella of the 87th squad and Mathew Hope. Ed McBain seemed particularly liberal in his use of superfluous padding in this one, despite having a pretty neat plot that......more

Goodreads review by Mark on October 12, 2022

Mostly fun, and a fast and easy read. One of the most technically polished books I've ever rated at only 3 stars. It's a mystery/police procedural with comic touches — and can be described as a two-or-three notches darker version of a Carl Hiassen story. But Hiassen uses his Florida novels for satir......more
