Offers a historical-descriptive treatment, that includes both rhetorical analysis and a narrative of the drafting, of Ronald Reagan's famous address to the Houses of Parliament that was the initial enunciation of his "Evil Empire" stance. Although initial response to the speech was tepid, Reagan considered it one of his most important addresses, and the hindsight afforded by the fall of Communism a decade later lends validation to that view, the authors argue.
