Description:
Reagan: The Man and His Presidency, a sympathetic oral history of the Republican president who revitalized American conservatism, follows a pair of similar books by the Strobers on JFK and Nixon. For this volume, the authors interviewed 108 political insiders and others who knew their subject well, with everybody's insider perspective--from George Bush and Jordan's King Hussein down to the family astrologer, Joan Quigley--taken at face value. While the book does offer important insights on the 40th president's character and management style, and juicy first-person accounts such as Gerald Ford's take on the failed negotiations to have him join Reagan's ticket as a virtual "co-president," it is by no means a comprehensive history of the Reagan administration. In fact, this probably isn't the first volume on Reagan to own or read--for that, check out Dutch by Edmund Morris or Ronald Reagan by Dinesh D'Souza--but it certainly provides a nice addition to the libraries of Reagan devotees. --John J. Miller
