Carrying on a tradition that dates back to 1801, Mrs. Reagan embraced this role with a unique energy and joie de vivre rare among her predecessors. During the course of President Reagan's two terms in office, the Reagans hosted fifty-five state dinners and hundreds of other events, both intimate and grand. "It was a vital part of our roles as president and first lady," recalls Mrs. Reagan."And it was a duty that we enjoyed immensely." From her first private event as a White House hostess (President Reagan's surprise seventieth birthday party, which was mistakenly announced by Tom Brokaw on the Today show that very morning), to the state dinner with Mikhail Gorbachev that marked the unofficial end of the Cold War, to John Travolta's surprise dance with Diana, Princess of Wales, Mrs. Reagan has seen it all.
Renowned interior designers Peter Schifando and J. Jonathan Joseph worked closely with the former first lady to create the ultimate insider's guide to these fantastic soirees, which shine a light on history and embody a proud American tradition. Full of personal anecdotes and glorious photographs from the former first lady's private collection, the Ronald Reagan Library, and the White House Historical Society, Entertaining at the White House with Nancy Reagan is an authentic and intimate look at classic formal entertaining.
