<b><b><b><b>From the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, bestselling historian, and author of <i>Our First Civil War</i></b></b></b><i>—</i>and "the rare academic historian who can write like a bestselling novelist" (<i>USA Today</i>)—comes an irresistible portrait of an underestimated politician whose pragmatic leadership and steadfast vision transformed the nation.<br></b><br>In his magisterial new biography, H. W. Brands brilliantly establishes Ronald Reagan as one of the two great presidents of the twentieth century, a true peer to Franklin Roosevelt. <i>Reagan</i> conveys with sweep and vigor how the confident force of Reagan’s personality and the unwavering nature of his beliefs enabled him to engineer a conservative revolution in American politics and play a crucial role in ending communism in the Soviet Union. Reagan shut down the age of liberalism, Brands shows, and ushered in the age of Reagan, whose defining principles are still powerfully felt today.<br><br>
