Exit with Honor: The Life and Presidency of Ronald Reagan (Right Wing in America)
Presidential biographies don't get better than this one. In ten comprehensive chapters, historian Pemberton, the author of previous biographies of Harry Truman and George Bush, covers the life and multiple careers of Ronald Reagan as well as his place in U.S. political history. Writing from a centrist interpretation, he presents both the positives and negatives of Reagan's personality, along with his successes and failures. Disagreeing with most historians, Pemberton views Reagan as successfully championing most middle-class voters, restoring their pride in country, Reaganomics notwithstanding. Remarkable for its balance and brevity, this biography deserves a place in both general and special collections. Highly recommended.?William D.
