It's a sometimes complicated story presented with clarity and suspense. Freeland's theme is the hope and subsequent disappointment of a group of liberal reformers who tried to ensure communism would never return to Russia, yet compromised their own ideals along the way. A compelling new book from the U.S. historian who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for Fire in the Lake . Fitzgerald tells how Reagan, an airhead in most other respects, brilliantly seized on the essence of the Great American Myth, and set his playing of the mythic role above everything else he brought to the Oval Office. Well documented and absorbing.
Additional catastrophes appear.
Profoundly moving, and as always with Mowat, no doubt provocative. An angry alchemy of social criticism and travel writing, uncomfortable for an American to read. This is a book by a Canadian that can change the United States. Now you can say you have seen everything. Globe Interactive, a division of Bell Globemedia Publishing Inc. Protected by copyright.
