Description

Ronald Reagan is widely regarded as one of America's most successful post-war presidents. This biography assesses his achievements and shortcomings, tracing his life from upbringing to presidency. Iwan Morgan examines the pragmatic conservatism that shaped Reagan's domestic policy, as well as his transformation from a Cold War hawk to a negotiator on nuclear arms reduction. The book also explores the Iran-Contra scandal and its impact on Reagan's legacy. Understanding Reagan's legacy is more relevant than ever, particularly in light of the Republican Party's current direction and identity. This biography offers a nuanced evaluation of Reagan's presidency, highlighting both his optimism for America and the complexities of his record.
