Reagan In His Own Voice features Ronald Reagan's radio addresses from the late 1970s. Edited by Kiron K. Skinner, Annelise Anderson, and Martin Anderson, they are introduced by George Shultz and feature additional introductions by Nancy Reagan, Richard V. Allen, Judge William Clark, Michael Deaver, Peter Hannaford, Edwin Meese III and Harry O'Connor.
From 1975 to 1979 Ronald Reagan gave more than 1,000 daily radio broadcasts, the great majority of which he wrote himself. This program represents the opening of a major archive of pre-presidential material from the Reagan Library and the Hoover Institution Archives. These addresses transform our image of Ronald Reagan, and enhance and revise our understanding of the late 1970s — a time when Reagan held no political office, but was nonetheless mapping out a strategy to transform the economy, end the cold war, and create a vision of America that would propel him to the presidency.
These radio programs demonstrate that Reagan had carefully considered nearly every issue he would face as president. Reagan's radio broadcasts will change his reputation even among his closest allies and friends. Here, in his own voice, Reagan the thinker is finally fully revealed.

      A collection of radio commentaries made by Ronald Reagan from 1975 to 1979, this is an excellent production of broadcasts made before he became president. Transcripts of these broadcasts, which were written by Reagan, are found in two related books, REAGAN IN HIS OWN HAND and STORIES IN HIS OWN HAND. Those books also show photos of the original scripts, as well as Reagan's editorial marks. The aim of those books and this audiobook is to show that Reagan presented many core political ideas even before he became known as "The Great Communicator." Reagan's delivery is almost always flawless, although the original recordings are not in perfect condition. A narrator tells what is happening at the time of each broadcast, and we hear directly from those who were close to Reagan, such as his wife and key advisors, at the time of these recordings. M.L.C.
