In the waning days of the Cold War, two political figures emerged -- one on each side of the long standoff -- who changed the entire conversation, and remade the world. Ronald Reagan is one of those leaders. But the other is not Mikhail Gorbachev, it's Boris Yeltsin. Now scholars Kiron Skinner and Serhiy Kudelia, along with co-authors who include Condoleezza Rice, show us what Reagan and Yeltsin did, and why it was so significant, in their book called "The Strategy of Campaigning."

Was Ronald Reagan really the "amiable dunce" he was once characterized as? Or did he actually have a much finer grip on the issues than people give him credit for? This book may help you make up your own mind. It's a collection of hundreds of essays Reagan wrote and recorded on his syndicated daily radio broadcasts in the latter half of the 1970s. One of its editors is Kiron Skinner.
