Ronald Reagan
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 9780786148189
Category: Bios, Memoirs, Political Figures
Keywords: republican, communism, conversative, conservatism, mikhail gorbachev, Ronald, Reagan
Author: John Patrick Diggins
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 16 hours and 53 min.

Description
Following his departure from office, Ronald Reagan moved to the margins of public interest. But like Lincoln, who was also attacked for decades after his death, Reagan deserves to be regarded as one of our greatest presidents, an exemplar of true conservative values. In this bold and philosophical reevaluation, Diggins reveals that Reagan was a far more active and sophisticated president than we ever knew. His negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev and his opposition to foreign interventions demonstrate that he was not a rigid hawk. In his pursuit of Emersonian ideals and distrust of big government, he was an open-minded libertarian, combining a reverence for America's hallowed historical traditions with an implacable faith in the limitless opportunities of the future.

Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self

Author: Claire Tomalin
Publisher: Penguin Books Limited
Length: 6 hours and 22 min.

Description
Samuel Pepys kept a diary in which he wrote with astonishing candour about the life he saw around him in London in the 1660s, and about his private desires and ambitions. The diary was kept for fewer than 10 years of his long life: Claire Tomalin tells the whole story of the Fleet Street tailor's son who made himself rich and powerful, an MP and adviser to royalty. She also traces his relations with many women, from countesses to servant girls, in a biography that is funny, moving, and as candid as Pepys himself.

Robert Kennedy: His Life
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 0786147954
Category: Bios, Memoirs, Political Figures, History, Extraordinary Lives
Keywords: conspiracy, assassination, death, rfk, jfk, john f. kennedy, kennedy, 1968, campaign, camelot, 1960s, sixties, Robert, Kennedy, His, Life
Author: Evan Thomas
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 20 hours and 14 min.

Description
Traditionally, Robert F. Kennedy has been viewed as either the "Good Bobby", who saw wrong and tried to right it, or the "Bad Bobby" of countless conspiracy theories. Evan Thomas' achievement is to realize RFK as a human being, to bring to life an extraordinarily complex man who was at once kind and cruel, devious and honest, fearful and brave. The portrait that emerges is unvarnished but sympathetic, packed with new details about Kennedy's early life and his behind-the-scenes machinations. In a clear and fast-paced narrative, Thomas cuts through the mythology to reveal a character who, though he died young and just as he was reaching for ultimate power, remains one of the century's most fascinating men.
