Overview

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 inside: 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.

Did Rush Limbaugh's best-sellers fly off your shelves? Does right-wing talk radio kill the competition in your media market? If so, you will probably need multiple copies of this collection of "bold exposes" from Ronald Reagan's talk-host son. To no one's astonishment, the younger Reagan bashes the Clintons, the media, liberals, affirmative action, and the United Nations, and glorifies his father, fatherhood in general, the GOP, conservatives, and the "new Reagan Revolution" : his "24-hour, two-way interchange" linking "We the People" to government though Reagan's three-hour weeknight talk show, his monthly newsletter, and his Internet web site. Yes, "Making Waves" constitutes self-promotion (and will itself be widely promoted by the publisher). Yes, this volume's "exposes" rely heavily on sources--like Clinton-hater Larry Nichols--whom many observers, at least some of them conservative, consider undependable at best. Still, readers who share Reagan's ultraconservative views and visceral anger at all who disagree will no doubt relish this chance to peruse his vituperation at their leisure. (Jim Denney "poured my thoughts onto paper with passion and skill," per Reagan's acknowledgments.)
