    An intimate portrait of the Western White House – the Reagan Ranch, “Rancho del Cielo”, in Santa Barbara, California – written by long-time Reagan friend and associate, Peter Hannaford. Fascinating, often humorous anecdotes and more than 50 color photographs (many rarely seen) tell the story of the ranch: its rich history, how it compares to other Presidential retreats over the last 200 years, and how the Reagans acquired it and made it into a home of their own. Some of the people and events included are a behind-the-scenes look at the campaigns for the presidency; the challenges the ranch posed to the Secret Service; Queen Elizabeth’s memorable visit in the pouring rain; visits by foreign counterparts, including Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev; the press’s love affair with Santa Barbara; and numerous other accounts that range from dealing with threats to national security to the Thanksgiving Day menu. Hannaford captures Ronald Reagan’s larger-than-life persona in every chapter.
