Turner Publishing announces the new release, the Historic Photos of Ronald Reagan by Jay Stephen Whitney. This 10x10 volume tells the pictorial narrative of “The Gipper” in stunning, culled-from-the-archives photography.
Nashville, TN, September 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Life and Work of Ronald Reagan Told Through Historic Photographs.
From his days of radio broadcasting for University of Iowa football games, to his last days as Commander-in-Chief, Ronald Reagan has been a larger-than-life figure in United States history and politics. The life of this truly amazing man portrays dedication, hard work, and a sense of leadership that today makes him one of the most popular and beloved presidents of all time.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by author Jay Stephen Whitney, Historic Photos of Ronald Reagan rediscovers the fascinating life and work of the nation’s 40th president through nearly 200 rare photographs courtesy of the Acorn Newspapers, Pat Bagley, Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts, Library of Congress, National Archives, Ronald Reagan Foundation, Ronald Reagan Library, United States Postal Service, and Don Wright, all showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
In subjects ranging from puberty to press conferences, life guarding to limousines, offensive guard to the Oval Office and much more, Ronald Reagan shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“[This book] reveals that Reagan’s White House Press Office collected political cartoons from all the newspapers and made a file for the president each week called ‘Friday’s Follies,’” says Whitney. “We also include photos of Reagan with recent [politicians]. It shows how the current political figures are still influenced by Reagan, who has been out of office for 20 years.”
Historic Photos of Ronald Reagan is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, events, and people across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
