The Reagan Diaries by Ronald Reagan

A candid day‑by‑day journal of a two‑term presidency that blends day-to-day scheduling with plainspoken reflections on high-stakes foreign and domestic decisions, interactions with world leaders, and the inner dynamics of the White House; entries reveal the author’s optimism, political instincts, faith, humor, and private reactions to pivotal moments of the 1980s—negotiations with the Soviet leadership, economic and defense policies, crises and triumphs—offering a personal window into how choices were made and how a president experienced the burdens and rhythms of power.
