Ronald Reagan: Fate, Freedom, and the Making of History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780393330922)

In this bold, revisionist biography, distinguished historian John Patrick Diggins shows that Ronald Reagan, in his distrust of big government, his pursuit of libertarian ideals, and his negotiations with Gorbachev, was a far more active and sophisticated president than we previously knew. Affirming the fortieth president to be an exemplar of the truest conservative values, Diggins "identifies Reagan as the 'Emersonian President, ' who believed that power is best when it resides in people, not government" (Library Journal).
