Reagan seemed like a good person but Iran-Contra, Trickle Down Economics, and taking away tax credits for housing should be added in to the Halo Effect ascribed to this president. Also, it seemed like Nancy was running the country toward…

Interesting read, but any objective mind who lived through the Reagan presidency will immediately see it for what it is: A mostly contrived effort to sell another book. You will read many reviews from persons on this website who A: Have…

As President Reagan once said: "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." (And very well documented, indeed.) I Gotta Go... ;-)

Essentially a biography of President Reagan. An easy read and some things that I did not know or remember.
