As a special assistant to the president, Peggy Noonan worked
with Ronald Reagan, and with Vice President George H. W.
Bush, on some of their most famous and memorable speeches.
In her thoroughly engaging and critically acclaimed memoir,
Noonan shows us the world behind the words. Her sharp and
vivid portraits of the Reagans, Bush, and a host of
Washington’s movers and shakers are rendered in inimitable,
witty prose. And her priceless account of what it was like
to be a speechwriter among bureaucrats, and a woman in the
last bastion of male power, makes this a Washington memoir
that breaks the mold—as spirited, sensitive, and thoughtful
as Peggy Noonan herself.
