About this listen
 Imagine discovering the locked diaries of someone who recorded his unvarnished, behind-the-scenes encounters with some of the most famous people of his generation: world leaders, explorers, iconic movie and sports stars, and even two canonized saints. How badly would you want to locate that key? How hard would you look for it?Your search is over.In "Shaking Hands with History," former Congressman James Rogan opens his private journals and photo albums to share remarkable encounters with the greats, the near-greats, and the once-great but now-forgotten. From his boyhood adventures chasing famous people through the streets of San Francisco to his years in Congress and Washington, Rogan offers a front-row seat to history—and often a glimpse behind the curtain.Meet boxing legend Muhammad Ali, President Ronald Reagan, the first man on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, astronaut John Glenn, baseball icons Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, and many others. Hear firsthand recollections from people who rode in President John F. Kennedy's ill-fated Dallas motorcade, and discover private conversations with key figures in the Watergate scandal, Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and Senator Ted Kennedy.Sometimes funny, sometimes surprising, and occasionally deeply moving, these stories reveal the human side of people whose names fill the headlines and history books.If you like your history straight and with no chaser, told by someone who was there, you've come to the right place.©2020 James Rogan (P)2026 James Rogan
