If you want everything Reagan, wall-to-wall Reagan, non-stop Reagan and nothing but Reagan this is the video for you. Unlike the Morris book, this tape features six hours of Reagan being Reagan--in his own words and nobody else's. His fight against Communism, his gentle wit, his optimism and patriotism shine in this video series. I can't think of anything that's not in this series; every great moment of crisis and leadership in the Reagan presidency is covered including vintage clips covering his pre-Presidential years. If you want the whole enchilada then order this video box set. You won't be disappointed.

This compilation of President Reagan's speeches is probably the most complete collection I have encountered. It has all the speeches I remember from when I was a boy back in the 1980's. It brings back great memories of America's last great president. Most of the speeches presented are shown in most of their entirety. Some of them include SDI, Challenger Disaster, Bombing Libya, Invading Grenada, and Farewell Address to the Nation, to name a few. If you are an admirer of Reagan and suffer from Nostalgia of the Reagan era as I do, this video is for you. Overall, I do recommend this video. It brought back great memories of my childhood with the man I will always call "My President."

This video series is the best one yet. Unfortunately, many of the DVDs that cover President Reagan's legacy are overshadowed by the harsh words of left wing critics with axes to grind.

This DVD set shows Mr. Reagan's speeches and comments in an unbiased and uncut way. I really enjoyed watching this series, and it is no wonder why Americans felt better about themselves during both of his Presidential terms. President Reagan was one of the greatest leaders in world history, and this DVD set shows you why. I highly recommend this DVD set over all the other Reagan biographical series. Enjoy!

Let the Noam Chomsky fans continue to live in thier idyllic (yet bitter) ersatz-Upotia that exists only in thier private, unattainable fantasyland. This is a wonderful set for all Reagan fans who admired and respected the man and the way he was able to turn the country around from the doldrums and despair of the toothless Carter administration and reminded us all what made this country great.

It's also nice to have more complete clips of Reagan's most famous moments and not just the "best-of" highlight clips that we've seen a million times.

Buy it...watch it...live it again. Who knows when we'll see a man of this vision and greatness again.

I received this today and I could not take my eyes off my television. It is ALL Reagan for the length of the program. The first DVD is a wonderful chronological view on the man as president and the second DVD is a touching look at his lighter side. This is a must for anyone who admired the man--and, for those who don't, well, perhaps you will understand why he "stands so tall" as far as the rest of us are concerned.

I strongly recommend this wonderful box set to everyone - Reagan fans and even them who are liberals and anti-Reagans. I also thank those people who worked so much to make us richer by this item. All the vital speeches are here and this is a must see title for this generation and the generations to come.

After a week of watching tributes pour in and listening to what other people have to say about President Reagan I wanted to go back and hear from the source himself. This DVD was where I turned. With over seven (count 'em!) hours of well-chosen speeches this is the ultimate tribute to the man called the Great Communicator. I am incredibly happy with this purchase and you will be too. This DVD will stand the test of time.

A must-see for all Ronald fan.
He brought US a rebirth by speeding up the military race which directly or indirectly speed up the final crash of the "Evil Empire" and changed our a whole generation's life. Thank you, great president.

as to the DVD itslef: 2 points:
1. though it is a DVD, the resolution is still low due to the taken age and half of them, the screen just shaking (cam man did not have a tripod there?????), but as a whole it is OK
2. there are roughly 50 scene with total 6 hrs play time, one of the not-perfect thing, when you want a little context following the high point, it is over :-)

But since I am afraid it is the most comprehensive one you could get, ***** is given.

I had the privilege of watching a preview of this DVD and highly recommend it for its artistry and historical completeness. Regardless of your political views, by purchasing this remarkable DVD you will not only be enriching your own knowledge of the late President and his times but providing an excellent educational resource for your children, especially if they are too young to remember the Reagan era.

The best summary of Ronald Reagans statements and speeches ever. A very special retrospection to the "Golden 1980s" and the Reagan Revolution. This Set of DVD shows it all: neoconservative policy, neoliberal economics, the fight against the communists and the policy of strength against the Soviet Union. Reagan as a exceptionally gifted speaker and great man. A man, who's visions have become true.

Ronald Wilson Reagan - in my opinion the most important President of the United States in the 20th century.

A "must have" for all Fans of Ronald Reagan and his policy.
