description: "I came to the National Security Council to work in the administration of a great president. I came to understand his goals and his desires. I admired his policies, his strength, and his ability to bring our country together. I observed the President to be a leader who cared deeply about people, and who believed that the interests of our country were advanced by recognising that ours is a nation at risk in a dangerous world and acting accordingly. He tried, and in my opinion succeeded, in advancing the cause of world peace by strengthening our country, by acting to restore and sustain democracy throughout the world, and by having the courage to take decisive action when needed."He electrified the nation with his testimony before Congress. Now meet the man himself.From his boyhood in upstate New York to his role in the Iran-contra affair, here is the inside story of the man President Reagan called "my favourite Marine".
