Behind Closed Doors is a compelling insider’s account by the trusted adviser and confidant to America’s presidential giants and political legends. In the book, Ken Khachigian draws the curtains back to provide today’s only hands-on narrative of his most private, historic moments with Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon during revolutionary changes in our economy, politics, communications, foreign policy, and culture.
Ken Khachigian, known as the “Lion of California GOP [Republican Party] Politics,” is a political strategist who has served as an adviser on nine presidential campaigns. He served as President Ronald Reagan’s chief speechwriter, worked directly at his side through both landslide election victories, and helped write President Reagan’s first inaugural address along with many of his memorable addresses.
“A profoundly fascinating insider’s look at the Cold War’s most legendary presidents.”
— HUGH HEWITT, BROADCAST JOURNALIST AND WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST
