From the time he arrived on the political scene in 1964 throughout his presidency and beyond, Ronald Reagan used his speeches to inspire and reinvigorate America.

When he spoke, Reagan, said, he was preaching a sermon. The American people saw his vision of America and his dreams for the future and they overwhelmingly responded; he was re-elected in 984 by the largest number of electoral votes in the nations history. Here in this collection of twenty-eight speeches spanning the Reagan era, readers can find inspiration in Reagans sermons.

From his first speech in the political arena in 1964 to his Last Letter to America, informing Americans of his Alzheimers disease, Ronald Regans words show a profound belief in God, freedom, individualism, limited government, and his great love for his country. In addition to an introduction by Reagans son, Michael Reagan, each speech features an informative introduction which puts the speech into historical context, making The Last Best Hope the perfect entrée into the influence of one of the major figures of the 20th century.
