Reagan

From master storyteller and New York Times bestselling historian H. W. Brands comes the definitive biography of a visionary and transformative president.

In his majestic new biography, H. W. Brands brilliantly establishes Ronald Reagan as one of the two great presidents of the twentieth century, a true kindred spirit of Franklin Roosevelt. Brands conveys with vigor and energy how the confident force of Reagan's personality and the steadfast nature of his convictions enabled him to shape a conservative revolution in American politics and play a crucial role in the end of communism in the Soviet Union. Brands demonstrates that Reagan ended the era of liberalism and ushered in the Reagan era, whose defining principles are still strongly felt today.

By utilizing archival sources that were not available to previous biographers and conducting dozens of interviews with surviving members of Reagan's administration, Brands has created a richly detailed and fascinating narrative of the presidential years. He offers new insights into Reagan's distant leadership style and the fractious staff in the West Wing, his deft management of public sentiment to transform tax legislation, and his deeply misunderstood relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, upon which the fate of the world depended.

Reagan is a narrative triumph, an irresistible portrait of an underestimated politician whose pragmatic leadership and unwavering vision transformed the nation.
