Introduction

10 American Presidents is a great show and they are currently covering Ronald Reagan. As America prepares its presidential election on November the 3rd, we look at the life of a president who 40 years ago was called a dangerous extremist. Raised in the small towns of Illinois, he was the actor who changed America, helped bring down the Berlin Wall and became a lion with the right. Listen to part one of 10 American Presidents from Roy Field Brown and the author of Reagan, Ewan Morgan.
