Best-selling biographer, Max Boot, talks about his latest book, a revelatory portrait of the telegenic leader who ushered in a transformative conservative era in American politics. Despite his fame as a Hollywood star and television host, Ronald Reagan remained a man of profound contradictions. Never resorting to either hagiography or hit job, REAGAN charts his epic journey from Depression-era America to “Morning in America.” Boot will provide fresh insight into “trickle-down economics,” the Cold War’s end, the Iran-Contra affair, and so much more.
