π Reagan by H. W. Brands β Definitive Biography of a Transformative President
From master storyteller and New York Times bestselling historian H. W. Brands comes the definitive biography of a visionary and transformative president.
In his magisterial work, Brands brilliantly establishes Ronald Reagan as one of the two great presidents of the twentieth century, a true peer to Franklin Roosevelt. Reagan conveys with sweep and vigor how the confident force of Reaganβs personality and the unwavering nature of his beliefs enabled him to engineer a conservative revolution in American politics and play a crucial role in ending communism in the Soviet Union. Brands shows how Reagan shut down the age of liberalism and ushered in the age of Reaganβprinciples still powerfully felt today.
Follow young Ronald Reagan from his small-town Illinois roots to his rise as a radio announcer, Hollywood movie star, and spokesman for corporate America, before his improbable political ascensionβfirst as governor of California, and ultimately as president of the United States in 1980.
Employing archival sources not available to previous biographers and drawing on dozens of interviews with surviving members of Reaganβs administration, Brands crafts a richly detailed narrative of Reaganβs presidential years. Gain new insights into Reaganβs management style, his tax reforms, and his complex but decisive relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, on which the fate of the world once turned.
