description: The feelings and fantasies shared by Americans during Ronald Reagan's presidency. Beginning with a psychobiography of Reagan, the book provides a month by month analysis of media imagery showing paranoid fears of a nation about to collapse, in contrast to the actual strong economic and military position of America. The resulting recession, the trillions of dollars spent in military buildup and the various foreign policy crises are demonstrated to be motivated by unconscious political psychodynamics and group-fantasies of most Americans during the Eighties.
