of the debate, the subject switched and ronald reagan called for the soviets to knock down the berlin wall. push to begin and anti-ballistic missiles shield. he learned from eisenhower that the way to defeat the communists alternately is to have a strong american economy and a strong american military. in the middle east, do not try to remain neutral. stand firm with our ally in democratic israel and do not go to the u.n. to seek major geopolitical solutions to the world's problem. the u.n. is not structured correctly. he also learned how to deal with hostage crises. i get into a lot of that in my book. i cannot discuss that now. it is amazing to me that reagan, we know later he was here all along. now, we are going to get to the end portion of my book. my book stops with the convention in 1968 when reagan is dejected but he tells student supporters, i will be back. i will run again for the presidency sometime in the future, which of course he does, but i want to go over the continuing influence of dwight eisenhower. during the presidential years of ronald reagan and beyond. while reagan r
