Despite his fame as a Hollywood star and television host\, Reagan remained a man of profound contradictions\, even to those closest to him. Never resorting to either hagiography or hit job\, REAGAN charts his epic journey from Depression-era America to “Morning in America.” Providing fresh insight into “trickle-down economics\,” the Cold War’s end\, the Iran-Contra affair\, and so much more\, this definitive biography is as compelling a presidential biography as any in recent decades. Purchase Reagan: His Life & Legend here. \n\nAbout the Author\nMax Boot\, historian and foreign-policy analyst\, is a senior fellow for national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a columnist for the Washington Post. His New York Times bestseller\, The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam\, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography.\n \n  \n\nAbout the Moderator\nJim Falk is President Emeritus of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth and Global Santa Fe’s Program Chair.
