This book doesn‘t just tell you about Reagan, it tells you about America too. It makes you understand why Reagan changed from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. You understand the Cold War, even from Gorbachev‘s POV. Brands draws parallels between Reagan and FDR. Everything is laid out in solid, readable, detail. Excellent biography! I‘ve already stacked H.W. Brands‘ other works. 4/44 #PresidentialBiographies
