Prior to his presidency, he was a Hollywood actor and union leader before serving as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975. The Great Communicator fundamentally changed the order of world democracy. "If the democracies maintained their resolve against Communism and encouraged the expansion of democratic rule, I suggested, the rest was inevitable: Marxism-Leninism would be tossed on the ash heap of history, like all the other forms of tyranny that preceded it." (p 556).
