{"product_id":"reagan-his-life-and-legend-9780871409447","title":"Reagan: His Life and Legend","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom best-selling biographer Max Boot comes this revelatory portrait, a decade in the making, of Ronald Reagan, the actor-turned-politician whose telegenic leadership ushered in a transformative conservative era in American politics. Despite his fame as a Hollywood star and television host, Reagan remained an enigma--a man of profound contradictions--even to those closest to him. Believing that this inscrutability contributed to Reagan's appeal, Max Boot sought to reveal the real man behind the mythology. Drawing on more than a hundred new interviews and thousands of newly available documents, \u003cem\u003eReagan\u003c\/em\u003e tells the epic story of the Depression-era poor boy who transfixed and transformed the nation. Yet Boot, a one-time Republican policy advisor, offers no apologia, depicting a man with a Manichean, good-versus-evil worldview derived from his moralistic upbringing. Providing revelatory insights into \"trickle-down economics,\" the Cold War's end, the Iran-Contra affair, and so much more, this definitive biography is as compelling a presidential biography as any in recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871409447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2024 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Max Boot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431985017013,"sku":"9780871409447","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6f5b43c4-312e-44ea-8c7e-b055e2edf2da.jpg?v=1721139217","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/reagan-his-life-and-legend-9780871409447","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
