In Making Waves, Reagan is at his hard-hitting best as he brings his well-researched commentary to the issues and challenges facing our country. A sampling of what's The questions the press never bothered to ask about the mysterious death of White House lawyer Vincent Foster; the unpublicized plan to assemble a committee to revise the Constitution (and why; it's a dangerous proposition); how liberals benefitted from Ronald Reagan's economic policies, even as they publicly bashed them; and the difficult decision to share Ronald Reagan's diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease with the public. Making Waves is part primer on what conservatives believe, part wake-up call, and part family album. And it's completely Mike Reagan - colorful, compelling, and unapologetic.
Michael Reagan is the adopted son of Ronald Reagan and his first wife, actress Jane Wyman. This book covers mainly his start in talk radio and career in talk radio up to 1995.
While reading this book, it was amazing how many of the same issues he discussed as issues between 1990-5 are still the same unresolved issues today, from deficits, to health care, to taxes, to entitlement spending, etc. Nothing has changed, and the politics are still the same, but the players have changed and the problems are worse than ever!
This book is worth a fast read just for his recollections of Ronald Reagan, and his views on politics.
