During their nearly twenty-year relationship, Barletta would come to know Ronald Reagan as few others did--as a loving husband and father, as a man of courage and conviction, and as a friend and confidant.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Filled with heartwarming stories, humorous anecdotes, and history-making events, this is a moving, intimate portrait of a great man whose heart, wisdom, and all-American spirit continue to inspire.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"A unique perspective of President Reagan--both in and out of the saddle.\" \u003cbr\u003e --Judge William Clark, former National Security Advisor and Secretary of the Interior\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn R.
