Synopsis

Updated with recent assessments from many quarters, including the comments of former U.S. and Soviet diplomats, Nancy Reagan, and former independent counsel Lawrence Walsh, this masterwork probes the achievements and failures of the Reagan presidency with critical detachment. It examines the reasons for his political success, explains his economic policies, and exposes the roots of the Iran-contra scandal. Above all, President Reagan is an incisive portrait of one of America's most important presidents.

Review:

"New York Times", January 9, 2011
"Authoritative... If Obama actually read Cannon, his comeback could have legs. It's full of leadership lessons that will be particularly useful in outfoxing political adversaries who seem not to have consulted so much as a picture book about the president they claim as their patron saint."
