Lecture and Book Signing with Major Garrett

Please join us for a lecture and book signing with CBS News’ chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on his latest book, Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride: The Thrills, Chills, Screams, and Occasional Blackouts of an Extraordinary Presidency (Publish Date: September 18, 2018).  This event is free to attend; however, books must be purchased in the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature.  Books may be pre-purchased during the reservation process.  

Major Garrett has been reporting on the White House for nearly two decades, covering four different presidencies for three news outlets. But if he thought that his distinguished journalistic career had prepared him for the unique challenges of covering Donald Trump, he was in for a surprise.

In Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride, Major Garrett provides what journalists are often said to do, but usually don’t: a true first draft of history. His goal was to sift through the mountains of distracting tweets and shrieking headlines in order to focus on the most significant moments of Trump’s young presidency, the ones that Garrett believes will have a lasting impact. The result is an authoritative, mature, and consistently entertaining account of one of the strangest eras in American political history.

A consummate professional with unimpeachable integrity, remarkable storytelling skills, and a deep knowledge of his subject earned through decades of experience, Garrett brings to life the twists and turns of covering this White House and its unconventional occupant with wit, sagacity and style.

Although registration for this event is closed, this is a free event and everyone is still welcome to attend both the lecture and book signing (books must be purchased at the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature). Please join us at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, September 30th!
