James Rosebush, senior assistant to Ronald Reagan and Chief of Staff to Nancy Reagan for two terms, had unparalleled one-on-one access to the first family domestically and as they travelled the world. Reagan was notoriously guarded in public, but Rosebush’s observations about his personality, his strong faith, and his decision making make it obvious to the current reader what made him one of America’s greatest presidents. In today’s current rancorous political environment, Reagan’s soothing personal approach takes on greater comparative importance. Rosebush will speak and sign books in the Library gallery on Monday, May 2, at 6:30.
