MAX BOOT brings America’s 40th president to three-dimensional life in Reagan: His Life and Legend. Drawing on more than 100 new interviews and thousands of newly available documents – and acknowledging Ronald Reagan’s inscrutability and profound contradictions – this is an epic story of the Depression-era poor boy, former movie star, and mesmerizing politician who transfixed and transformed the nation. In his essay collection The Washington Book: How to Read Politics and Politicians, New York Times columnist CARLOS LOZADA dissects all kinds of texts, including tell-all accounts by administration insiders, campaign biographies, and revisionist memoirs. No matter how they try to present themselves in the best, safest, and most electable light, the truth almost always slips through.
