 President Ronald Reagan masterfully convinced the American people that the Soviet Union was an "Evil Empire," a danger to the very idea of freedom itself. Some historians credit his offensive, hard-line rhetoric and massive military buildup with winning the Cold War. Students will learn that, whether known as "The Great Communicator" for soothing America's collective grief after the Challenger disaster or referred to as the "The Great Prevaricator" for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, President Reagan used his oratorical skills effectively during times of national distress. Part of the multivolume Greatest Speeches of the 20th Century: Voices in Time Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
