I want to read a book about Reagan but thought choosing a "neutral" book would be boring. To that end, what book will convince me that Reagan was great, and what book will convince me that Reagan was awful?

by FyodorToastoevsky

I checked the book list but I could only find the Malcolm Byrne book about Iran-Contra.

The answer doesn't have to be limited to books strictly about his presidency, although ideally it wouldn't just be about his childhood, either. Biographies are welcome, as is anything else primarily about the man himself.

I know a little bit about Reagan, which is to say I've heard the talking points on both sides and know the highlights of his time in office. I have Rick Perlstein's Invisible Bridge on my to-read shelf, which might be too measured to qualify for this question.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

In case no one answers your question here, you can try again this Saturday when the Automods submit the next Saturday Reading and Research Post. It's a weekly post where you can talk about what you are reading and ask for recommendations. For example, this was last week's.

Hope you find your books!
