Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Transcending the conventional bounds of biography, Edmund Morris brings Ronald Reagan, the statesman, to life, revealing him to be a complex, highly imaginative personality. Photos.


Review:

"Mr. Morris's batty book is surely destined for commercial success. There's a lot of nostalgia for Reagan and Reaganism. And we have become a culture of morphing. Entertainment has overwhelmed truth, and the universities are riddled with professors who deny that objectivity is possible."

Maureen Dowd, New York Times, 9/22/1999

Review:

"It is obvious that in this quest Morris fell too far under the influence of his subject. In explaining--or defending--his novel device, Morris has said that this style derives 'from Ronald Reagan's own way of looking at his life.'"

David Corn, Salon, 9/18/1999

"The only biography ever authorized by a sitting President--yet written with complete interpretive freedom--is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship." Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 2.1 x 9.3 x 6.5 Inches; 896 pages; Book DescriptionPublication Date: September 30, 1999This book, the only biography ever authorized by a sitting President--yet written with complete interpretive freedom--is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship. When Ronald Reagan moved into the White House in 1981, one of his first literary guests was Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Theodore Roosevelt. Morris developed a fascination for the genial yet inscrutable President and, after Reagan's landslide reelection in 1984, put aside the second volume of his life of Roosevelt to become an observing eye and ear at the White House.

Book Description: Random House, Inc., New York, NY, U.S.A., 1999. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This book, the only biography ever authorized by a sitting President--yet written with complete interpretative freedom--is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship. During thirteen years of obsessive archival research and interviews with Reagan and his family, friends, admirers and enemies, Morris lived what amounted to a 'doppelganger' life, studying the young "Dutch", the middle-aged Cold Warrior, and the septuagenarian Chief Executive with a closeness and dispassion, not to mention alternations of amusement, horror, and amazed respect, unmatched by any other presidential biographer. New, unread copy, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. 874 pp. BIOS1/A27/A58. Bookseller Inventory # 6715
