Ronald Reagan's Conservative Political Action Conference addresses appear together in one collection for the first time. The former president's speeches span his years rallying the conservative movement during difficult periods and celebrating victories after reaching the White House. Reagan's humor, fervor, and political insight emerge throughout these talks that energized supporters and defined conservative principles. Contemporary conservative voices provide commentary on each speech, connecting Reagan's ideas to current political challenges. Contributors include Ben Shapiro, Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Mark Meadows, Allie Beth Stuckey, Charlie Kirk, Katie Pavlich, Michael Reagan, KT McFarland, Dan Schneider, and Wayne LaPierre. Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, serves as editor and provides the introduction. Vice President Mike Pence writes the preface, while Edwin Meese III, Reagan's former Counselor and Attorney General, contributes an afterword. The book demonstrates how Reagan's political philosophy continues to influence conservative thought decades later.
