A New York Times bestseller and “a deeply felt memoir” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) Even after his death in 2004, Ronald Reagan remains one of America’s most popular and beloved presidents. Though numerous candidates will undoubtedly invoke his name in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, he is a man whom history and his own privacy have conspired to turn into a remote icon. Ron Reagan celebrates his late father’s life by visiting the towns that shaped him, sharing both his own memories and a unique portrait of a young “Dutch” Reagan. Part memoir, part family history, part evocation of a bygone America, My Father at 100 is a candid and affectionate portrait that will be widely embraced by readers of all political stripes. “His sensitive and arresting memoir about ’Dad,’ as he calls his father throughout, is especially good when exploring the human puzzle.” —Russell Baker, The New York Review of Books “Honest and compelling . . . a worthy memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews “Ron Reagan has indeed created an enduring tribute.” —Diane Bradley, New York Journal of Books “A nicely written, richly felt book.” —Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune “Whether or not you agreed with his politics—and his son often did not—you come away feeling that the 40th president was a man perfectly suited to lifeguarding the free world.” —Abigail Klein, The Jerusalem Post This is not a political biography—that’s a job best left for others. Neither does this book pretend to be an encyclopedic recounting of his entire life. It is simply my attempt to come to grips with the father with whom I grew up, with a public figure both revered and reviled and, most important, with a human being in all his stubborn enigma. Everyone thinks he knows Ronald Reagan, but those who truly knew him best still grapple with the enduring mystery of his inner character. I’m hoping that some light might penetrate that mystery if I can focus on the man I knew through the lens of his early, formative years. suGGesteD oRDeR m ay • P l u m e 7 PLUME
