Work Description
"In Reagan's America, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Garry Wills seeks to understand Reagan's appeal through understanding his audience, the Americans who found in him everything they wanted to believe about themselves.".
"From the Mississippi Valley culture of Reagan's youth to the dreamland of midcentury Hollywood, from the California governor's office to the White House, Wills shows how Reagan's environment and quintessentially American careers - lifeguard, athlete, actor, union leader, and businessman - informed his values and ultimately contributed to his success as a politician.".
"An authoritative biography and a fascinating cultural history, Reagan's America reveals how this savvy, charismatic leader succeeded in restoring a nation's nearly lost sense of innocence and faith in itself."--BOOK JACKET.
