What few people realize, however, is that Reagan's revolution did not begin when he took office in 1980, but in his failed presidential challenge to Gerald Ford in 1975-1976. This is the remarkable story of that historic campaign-one that, as Reagan put it, turned a party of \"pale pastels\" into a national party of \"bold colors.\" Featuring interviews with a myriad of politicos, journalists, insiders, and observers, Craig Shirley relays intriguing, never-before-told anecdotes about Reagan, his staff, the campaign, the media, and the national parties and shows how Reagan, instead of following the lead of the ever-weakening Republican party, brought the party to him and almost single-handedly revived it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShirley, Craig:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eCraig Shirley is the author of four critically praised bestsellers about Ronald Reagan, \u003cem\u003eReagan's Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRendezvous with Destiny, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cem\u003eLast Act, and Reagan Rising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.
