From the invention of writing around 3,300 BC, the world has mostly been ruled by kings. Though called by different names: Pharaohs, Chieftains, Emperors, Caesars, Sultans, Khans, Maharajas, Monarchs, and Dictators, they act the same. Power, like gravity, concentrates into the hand of one person, who rewards his friends and punishes his enemies. In socialist and communist countries, too, though professing equality, they inevitably end up being ruled by dictators.

Insightful but Tough
Revisado: 05-26-19
Dr. Schweikart has an amazing ability to put the listener in the room with Ronald Reagan, whether it's a schoolroom in his early years, the negotiating room as the Screen Actors Guild boss, or the Oval Office as the 40th President of the United States. Having come of age during Reagan's first term, this tremendous biography helped me connect dots that were always a bit murky for me.
Larry does a great job of explaining and documenting details that helped illustrate why Reagan made certain decisions. The book doesn't sugar coat the places in history where Reagan made mistakes. Unlike fawning acolytes or relentless naysayers, Schweikart seems to play it down the middle and help us really go deep into the mind of "Dutch." This style helps clarify Nancy's role and those of his closest advisors.
Most importantly, I now have a clearer picture of how Reagan's influence shaped America for decades to come. I also found the epilogue explaining the similarities and unique differences with Donald Trump very enlightening.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
