Reagan: The Man and His Presidency

Rating:
Summary: Vivid Testimonials
Review: Do you REALLY want to know about the Reagan presidency? Then read this book. No fluff, no guff. Just verbatim testimonials from dozens of prominent figures of the Reagan era. Ignore the imbecilic prattle of the anti-Reagan Marxists who despised the man. One helpful hint: take some notes. The authors and editors give the job titles of the interviewee only when they are first introduced. Later in the book it is impossible to remember everones's job titles, and you'll be turning back to earlier text. This is the only reason I docked it a star.

Summary: A great summary of the President by those who knew him best
Review: Outstanding review of the President by those who knew him best. Detailed interviews with members of the cabinet, advisors and family members. The interviews are broken down into categories (such as Alexander Haig, Domestic policy, etc.) and it is fascinating to hear what those closest to the situation had to say. For Reagan fans, it will confirm his position as the greatest leader of the 20th Century (although it is not biased in any way).

Summary: Our most Treasonous president...
Review: This lopsided book won't change the minds of most Americans who agree that ronald reagan was one of the decietful presidents this century. He makes Nixon and Clinton look GOOD. He subverted the Constitution and lied to both Congress and the American People over the Iran Contra scandal--one of the most embarassing and shameful incidents in American History.
