Haven't read it, but it has to be better than Morris's silly book which made me so mad, I had to stop reading it. I just couldn't accept the Morris conceit of putting himself into Reagan's life. Morris also missed much of the connection between Reagan and why he was so well regarded by middle America. Many biographers, like Morris, mean well, but they obviously don't understand grassroots America. Reagan did, but Morris has no clue.
ditto. I have no idea why the Reagan family let a liberal write his bio. I had his book on tape and MADE myself finish it, despite turning it off multiple times. Worst decision ever to buy it.
'Reagan, a life in letters' is pretty good. fairly long and so it gets strung out, but offers some good insights into reagans mind directly, with out Morris's spin.
Totally agree....I couldn't stand Morris's book, 'Dutch', either. What a bunch of nonsense! I didn't make it even half way through before I threw it down. I hope this new book is better.
