Reagan, Religion and the Cold War

The Wall Street Journal printed this weekend a brief excerpt from James Mann's new book, "The Rebellion of Ronald Reagan: A History of the End of the Cold War" that deals with the deep sincerity of Ronald Reagan's religious faith and his boldness in promoting the ideals of that religion in his meetings with Soviet leaders.

Yes, the article has a whiff of condescension about it, but yet it provides a fascinating, endearing look into the life of this century's greatest U.S. President.
