About this product

Product Information

The Essential Ronald Reagan recounts in a concise way the extraordinary life and career of a great American president from his small-town Midwestern roots through his Hollywood film star days to his presidential role as redeemer of the American dream and victorious leader in the Cold War. Renowned historian Lee Edwards captures Ronald Reagan perfectly and concisely. Edwards shows how Reaganomics confounded the Keynesian "experts" and produced the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history. he details how President Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot and reveals his "secret weapon" in summit negotiations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Calling upon his four decades of observing and analyzing Ronald Reagan, Edwards provides many intimate details about the last president such as the five books that helped transform Reagan from a liberal Democrat into a conservative Republican and how the attempted assassination strengthened Reagan's deeply rooted faith. Edwards, who has taught politics at the Catholic University of America for nearly two decades, borrows from his classroom experience to grade the best and worst books about Ronald Reagan. Fifteen years after leaving the White House, Ronald Reagan is already ranked among our greatest presidents by the American people and an increasing number of historians and political scientists. In The Essential Ronald Reagan, Edwards analyzes the four essential qualities of leadership that enabled President Reagan to meet every challenge and crisis and to make him an American "for the ages."

Reviews
In 147 pages of text, Lee Edwards has accomplished what Ronald Reagan's official biographer, Edmund Morris, was unable to do in 674: He has captured the essence of the 40th president's character., ...this book reveals a man whose amiable facade guarded a more thoughtful and knowledgeable interior., Overall, readers will find this book to be both well-written and informative. The author has provided an important political analysis of Reagan and his presidency., Lee Edwards, who wrote the first biography of Ronald Reagan in 1967, has now written the revised edition--incorporating the stunning accomplishments of Reagan as Governor of California and President of the U.S. This is the essential biography of one of our greatest presidents., Ronald Reagan stands as the most consequential president of the second half of the 20th century. In The Essential Ronald Reagan, Lee Edwards tells the Reagan story as a leading scholar of American conservatism and a gifted writer can., Edwards offers an interesting perspective on Reagan's transformation from a liberal Democrat who was an ethusiastic supporter of Franklin Roosevelt to a conservative Republican who eschewed big government... Readers will find this book to be both well-written and informative. The author has provided an important political analysis of Reagan and his presidency., The Essential Ronald Reagan is a very good introduction to America's 40th president. ...As the quasi-official historian of the conservative movement, Edwards is a fitting guide to Reagan's life and legacy., I'm often asked to recommend a short biography of Ronald Reagan, one that concisely strikes at the core of the man, his ideas, and what he did. The Essential Ronald Reagan is the book that I will now recommend. Lee Edwards has produced a well-written, well-researched, balanced, engaging, and insightful biography of Ronald Reagan., This book is not just a checklist of accomplishments, but also a concise, penetrating study of Reagan's formation and leadership...Edwards consciously creates a succinct political biography...This assessment of Reagan's presidency is something one sees far too little of in the Reagan literature--and it is an honest one.
