<DIV><B>From the Author of <I>Forest Gump</I><BR>Ronald Reagan: Our 40th President</B><BR><BR>He was one of America's true greats. As president, he changed the world, developing a successful strategy for defeating Communism, toppling the Soviet Union, and liberating Eastern Europe (while hardly firing a shot). And just as important, he restored an America that had found itself mired in a malaise of falling living standards, moral decay, and what seemed like inevitable decline.<BR><BR>Though he was our oldest president, Reagan acted as a tonic, rejuvenating America's economy, restoring her confidence, and attracting a majority of young voters won over by his vision of making America once again a shining city on a hill.<BR><BR>In this superlative biography for young adults, bestselling author Winston Groom—author of <I>Forrest Gump</I>—gives us the full Reagan, from his Midwestern American boyhood, to his early career as a radio sports announcer, to his days as a Hollywood star and his extraordinary political career as a union leader, governor of California, and president of the United States.<BR><BR>Covering the gamut of Reagan's dramatic life, <I>Ronald Reagan: Our 40th President</I> is essential reading, as inspiring as its subject.<BR></DIV>
