Ronald Reagan by Dinesh D'souza
The diplomat Clare Booth Luce once remarked that history, which has no room for clutter, will recall every President with only one line. In this original and highly acclaimed portrait, conservative scholar Dinesh D'Souza argues that Reagan will be remembered as 'the man whose policies ended the Cold War and revived the economy and the American spirit.' Confounding many contemporary historians and pundits who dismiss Reagan, D'Souza shows that Reagan was a visionary whose policies laid the groundwork for the extraordinary economic times we live in today. With inside access to Reagan's family and friends, Hollywood figures, and politicians from all sides of the spectrum, this book offers an honest and thoughtful assessment of how this underestimated president became a truly extraordinary leader.
