One for the Gipper.

Good friend and communications strategist extraordinaire Craig Shirley has an awesome new book out on Ronald Reagan that tells the inside story of the 1976 Presidential election. He ought to know -- he was there. Books like this are tremendously important for the sake of the historical record.

Grover Norquist used to say that liberals are quite good at operating in three time zones - the present, the future AND the past. In particular, they rewrite history with great flourish. Many schoolchildren today might be under the misimpression that the Berlin Wall fell due to a masonry problem rather than anything that President Reagan accomplished.

Quin Hilyer reviews Craig's book in the Wall Street Journal today.
