The polarizing Great Communicator oversaw many developments that changed the face of American politics and life-the Iran-Contra Affair, the establishment of Reaganomics, the largest military buildup in peacetime US\u003cbr\u003ehistory--and as such remains a figure about whom much is written and much has yet to be discovered. Schaller revisits each of these episodes during and leading up to the Reagan presidency, taking into account the latest scholarship and research. In doing so, he makes clear their significance at the\u003cbr\u003etime and in later years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile most presidential biographies approach 1,000 pages, this succinct narrative comes in at just over 100 pages, continuing the tradition of excellence in brevity established by James McPherson's New York Times bestseller Abraham Lincoln and Alan Brinkley's recent short biography of Franklin\u003cbr\u003eDelano Roosevelt. Schaller's biography of Ronald Reagan will be available in time to commemorate the centennial of Reagan's birth, an opportune time to reflect on the accomplishments of America's fortieth president.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957190758655,"sku":"9780199751747","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/products\/9780199751747-us-300_c720d953-aac9-4cab-a029-8c2d96ec46ea.jpg?v=1665173623","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780199751747","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
