Ronald Reagan, his life and rise to the Presidency

The most penetrating close-up we have had to date of our new president - a full-dress biography of Ronald Reagan, from his boyhood in Illinois, his early days as a college hero (and how he led his own campus revolt), his life as an actor in Hollywood (and how his leadership helped win a major strike against the studios)-all told by a journalist who has followed Ronald Reagan's political career from its birth. -Dust jacket.
