Can anyone recommend a good book about Ronald Reagan?

[armyowalgreens]

I'm looking for a book that either refutes his status as a saint or one that gives a good explanation of his presidency.

2. I believe that any book

truthfully explaining his Presidency would also refute his saintliness.

Looking forward to seeing the recommendations!

10. I'm currently reading it

Since I was born in the tail-end of Reagan's administration, I don't know a whole lot about what went on in that time. I was looking for a book like the OP, and I found this at the library. So far, it is exactly what I was looking for: the truth behind the mythology of Saint Ronnie.

14. The Iran-Contra hearings is good.

:rofl: Another is "I Ran The Contras OR The Narco-Mercenary Army How-to Guide to Terrorism" :rofl:

My favorite is the children's book, "How I Saved Texas from the Commies" by Ronnie, published by Liar Press.
