I posted this article today as a tribute, because the book mentioned in this NavySeals.com article seems so fascinating.

Even people I know who were not big Reagan fans were quick today to acknowledge his success at ending Communism and cutting taxes.

So, I did some research and one thing that kept coming up was that his divorce from Jane Wyman was based in part on acrimony between them that resulted from their talk about Communism. I thought that was really interesting. Then I found the Navy Seals article, above.

The book praising Reagan and mentioned in this article above is described as follows on amazon.com:

Book Description

Reagan’s War is the story of Ronald Reagan’s personal and political journey as an anti-communist, from his early days as an actor to his years in the White House. Challenging popular misconceptions of Reagan as an empty suit who played only a passive role in the demise of the Soviet Union, Peter Schweizer details Reagan’s decades-long battle against communism.

Bringing to light previously secret information obtained from archives in the United States, Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Russia—including Reagan’s KGB file—Schweizer offers a compelling case that Reagan personally mapped out and directed his war against communism, often disagreeing with experts and advisers. An essential book for understanding the Cold War, Reagan’s War should be read by open-minded readers across the political spectrum.

And, here's the book:

Bill Ayers Weather Underground ping

In 1946, Reagan was targeted for assassination, as were his children. Things became so heated that he spent nights sitting up with a loaded .32 gun guarding his family. Tensions over Reagan's run-in with the Left may have contributed to his divorce from actress Jane Wyman.

In 1969, when he was governor of California, radicals came within inches of firebombing the Reagans' home in Sacramento. Gunshots fired by alert guards prevented the bombing.

The Weather Underground had made killing Reagan a top priority and even kept a bullet with his name on it at its secret headquarters.

In 1976, radicals fearing that Reagan would win the presidency plotted to kill him, with the probable help of Cuban intelligence agents.

And in 1983, while he was president, the North Koreans tried to kill him during his historic visit to the Korean DMZ.

I guess the bullet would go well with the ring made of metal from a downed US aircraft-- the ring that the WUO was given by the North Vietnamese.
