Craig Shirley, author of Rendezvous with Destiny: Ronald Reagan and the Campaign That Changed America, was guest of honor for a book-signing party Tuesday night at the Alexandria home of American Spectator publisher Alfred S. Regnery.

A groundbreaking history of Reagans' 1980 campaign, Rendezvous with Destiny "will be at the very core of the Reagan bibliography for future generations, and will not anytime soon -- if ever -- be surpassed," Jason Emerson writes in his review in the December-January issue of The American Spectator. More than 100 guests turned out for Tuesday's reception.

Mr. Shirley describes the three-year process of writing Rendezvous, as T. Kenneth Cribb of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and Mr. Regnery listen.
