This was such an enjoyable book. While no one is perfect, Ronald Reagan truly was a legendary American hero. What I wouldn’t give to have such leadership in our country again. I highly recommend this book.......more

This is an excellent work by Professor Schweikart. He provides a lot of fresh new insights and facts about President Reagan that I didn't previously know. It's my opinion that any history lover would love this book, and that this should be required reading for every American History class.......more

Goodreads review by John on January 31, 2023

The best biography of Ronald Reagan I have read, with a better balance of this great president's strengths and weaknesses than I have previously seen. I almost came to tears completing the book, and recommend it to anyone too young to have fond memories of this exceptional American president.......more
