Reagan Diaries Review TLS

A great review of the Ronald Reagan Diaries in the Times Literary Supplement. All the reviews of the Reagan Diaries themselves have been good, many see the greatness of Reagan. On how they have been produced would have to agree with the Review. At present reading the Duff Cooper Diaries, that is the better way to show all aspects of the Diary. The Review states the following, " Any authentic diary as this one certainly is, must be full of incomplete, abbreviated or downright cryptic references which need to be elucidated by amplifications and insertions, explanatory footnotes and more extended notes too. " The Cooper Diaries fulfill the above review and are a great read as was the Reagan Diaries but the Diaries needed a Michael Bescholss to fill in the gaps and tell the reader what happened in cases if the story in not well known. In other words get the Reagan Diaries and enjoy the thoughts of a great President.
