What I Saw at the Revolution

Summary: *The* Classic Memoir of The Reagan Years
Review: This is the single most readable and moving account of the Reagan administration, written by one of America's most graceful writers. Noonan has that lamentably rare combination of qualities: luminous literary talents aligned with common-sense political instincts. She has the gift of saying exactly what you think but can't quite put into words, and it's usually in the defence of ordinary people against the haughty elites of this world. See also her tough-minded "The Case Against Hillary Clinton." But it started here, with a book which historians in future generations should rank with "The Education of Henry Adams" as a portrait of its time.
