Book Description
Richard Reeves's acclaimed account of a presidency solves the puzzle of Ronald Reagan -- a man of limited breadth and knowledge who was perhaps the most effective superpower president.
Using the techniques he employed in his bestselling books on Presidents Kennedy and Nixon, Reeves takes us inside Reagan's Oval Office, where we find a charismatic, crafty, focused politician. Astonishing in its intimacy, authoritative in its sourcing, President Reagan is a portrait of modern presidential power that will stand as the definitive study of Reagan in the White House.
Download Description
In focusing on the key moments of the Reagan presidency, Reeves recounts the amazing resiliency of Ronald Reagan, the real "comeback kid." Here is a seventy-year-old man coming back from a near-fatal gunshot wound, from cancer, from the worst recession in American history. Then, in personal despair as his administration was shredded by the lying and secrets of hidden wars and double-dealing, he was able to forge one of history's amazing relationships with the leader of "the Evil Empire." That story is told for the first time using the transcripts of the Reagan-Gorbachev meetings, the climax of an epic story -- as if he were here.

REAGAN BIO REVEALS 40TH PRESIDENT TO BE ULTIMATE COLD WARRIOR.......2007-09-28
Historian Richard Reeves, who has made a literary career exploring the White House years of many of the more recent occupants of the Oval Office wrote last year's best selling non-fiction book `President Reagan: The Triumph of Imagination,' a biographical examination of America's 40th president.
This work on Reagan's time in Washington is Reeves' eleventh book and his third biography of a chief executive's tenure solely in the White House. He previously wrote about the presidential reign of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy. He is currently the Senior Lecturer at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California and a syndicated columnist whose column has appeared in more than 100 newspapers since 1979.
Reeves published his first book, `A Ford, not a Lincoln' in 1975. His tome `President Kennedy: Profile of Power' is considered the authoritative work on the 35th president and won several national awards including being named the Best Non-Fiction Book of 1993 by Time Magazine and Book of the Year by the Washington Monthly.
Twenty-six years after Ronald Reagan became president and changed the course of America, Reeves has written a surprising and revealing portrait of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. As he did in his bestselling books `President Kennedy: Profile of Power' and `President Nixon: Alone in the White House,' Reeves used newly declassified documents and hundreds of interviews to show a president at work day by day, sometimes minute by minute over the 40th president's two terms by selecting certain highlights in his eight years in office.
'President Reagan: The Triumph of Imagination' is the story
of an accomplished politician, a bold, sometimes reckless leader, a gambler of what he believed to be right, a man who imagined an American past and an American future and made them real.
Reagan is revealed to be a man of ideas who changed the world for better or worse with his own vision of good and right, a leader who understood that words are often more important than deeds in dealing with others, whether they be aides, the public, politicians with opposing viewpoints or world leaders. Reeves shows a man who understood how to be the president, who realized that the job is not to manage the government but to lead the nation. Reeves writes that in many ways, especially in the conservative movement of today a quarter of a century later, Reagan is still leading the charge.
As his vice president, George H. W. Bush, said after Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt and hospitalized in March, 1981, "We will act as if he were here."
Reeves shows Reagan to be a heroic figure if not always a hero. He did not destroy communism, as his champions claim, but knew it would self-destruct and hastened the collapse by the build-up of America's military might in the 1980's. He believed the Soviet Union was evil and had contempt for the established American policies of containment and détente that was advocated by his many contemporaries and prior presidential officeholders. Asked about his own Cold War strategy, he answered, "We win. They lose!"
Like one of his own personal heroes, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Reagan became larger than life. But as Roosevelt became an icon central to American liberalism, Reagan was the nucleus holding together American conservatism. He is the only president whose name became a political creed, a noun not an adjective: `Reaganism.'
Reeves claims through his liberal bias that Reagan's ideas were so old they seemed new. He preached individualism that many found to be inspiring yet also cruel. He dumbed-down America, brilliantly blending fact and fiction, transforming political debate into emotion-driven entertainment. He recklessly mortgaged America with uncontrolled military spending, less taxation, and more debt.
In focusing on the key moments of the Reagan presidency, Reeves recounts the amazing resiliency of Reagan as the real `comeback kid,' long before the term was used on Bill Clinton. Here is a seventy-year-old man coming back from a near-fatal gunshot wound, from cancer, from the worst recession in American history. Then, in personal despair as his administration was shredded by the lying and secrets of hidden wars and double-dealing, he was able to forge one of history's amazing relationships with the leader of `the Evil Empire.' That story is told for the first time using the transcripts of the Reagan-Gorbachev meetings, the climax of an epic story, as if he were here to tell us in how own unique style.
After Dwight Eisenhower's two full terms, we had five presidents in a row who didn't complete eight years in office until Reagan did so twenty-eight years later. Now we're going to have two chief executives in a row who will have served two terms. Is this now considered to be a new trend started again by Reagan or a continuance of what once was the norm of presidential politics that was maintained by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and others in the course of American history?
Reagan Remembered.......2007-09-24
I have to admit that I was not a fan of President Reagan's during his presidency. In my own words, I thought that "the Iran-Contra affair was the biggest threat to our democracy since Nixon trying to hold on to the presidency after Watergate". I have since changed my mind, at least on President Reagan, and even on Oliver North, who I have had the pleasure of meeting at a book signing.
I have to admit that I find Reeves' rehashing of the Reagan years enlightening in that I had forgotten so much of what had gone on, and it was interesting to read some of the behind the scenes details, although I had to wonder where some of the information came from. There were times when Reeves just could not avoid the backhanded remark, which was irritating at times. I also felt that he was struggling when he had to say something that might be construed as positive about Reagan. Be that as it may, it wasn't a bad read if you take into account the writer's view.
Ronald Reagan certainly had his flaws. Everyone does. Great people are not always great people behind closed doors. This does not diminish the fact that they rose to the occasion when it presented itself, and one way or the other made the right decision. After reading Reeves' book, I came to the conclusion that the United States would be a much lesser county without Ronald Reagan.
Reeves' book also convinced me that we need a great leader, much like Ronald Reagan, again. We need a leader who not only has the courage to make the tough, unpopular, decisions, but who can also communicate their beliefs in such a way that inspires the Nation, and the world, to do great things.
If you can filter the author's bias, then I would recommend the book. The advantage of the author's bias is that what may have been glossed over, ignored, or buried under the apologetics of a completely pro-Reagan author, comes out in the raw with maybe some opinionated remarks. The reader can then weed out the remarks and come to their own conclusion.
Reeves frequent lets his bias overshadow Reagan's leadrship........2007-08-09
Richard Reeves frequently lets his personal liberal bias get in the way of recognizing Reagan's greatness as a leader. He makes many insinuations that Reagan is lazy. Reeves has difficulty recognizing that Reagan had a plan to rebuild the United States from the Carter negatives to the Reagan positives. Still, in all, the biography of his presidency allows the Regan personality and magnetism to shine through Reeves' negativism.
An Excellent Book.......2007-05-28
I'm not sure what book some of the reviewers here are reading, but it cannot be the same tome. Some claim this book is contemptuous towards Reagan, but I cannot detect a hint of that so-called "contempt" in this book, and this is coming from someone who believes that Reagan was the best President of the past fifty years, though obviously that is not saying much. Rather, what I see is a revealing, fair account of Reagan and his legacy. Certainly, many sections of the book do not give Reagan as much credit as I feel he deserves, but that is the great beauty of an unbiased biography, rather than an overly sycophantic or critical one - you get to see Reagan not as a God, but as the wrinkled, tired and yet majestic lion in winter that he really was. In all honesty, the book is so scrupulously fair to Reagan that though there were times when I believed the author was a closet conservative and still other times when I thought he must be a flaming liberal, those moments were so fleeting as to be mere flashes of consciousness - now here, now gone. In the capacity of being balanced, Mr. Reeves' biography is an enviable achievement. My one complaint is that the biography only covers Reagan's presidency, without his earlier years as context, but perhaps that is to desire too much of a good thing. Ultimately, whether you like Reagan or not, you will find something to enjoy in this book, though you may also find yourself occasionally shifting uncomfortably in your seat as the reality of his Presidency gently intrudes on your mind.
Triumph of Big Business marketing.......2006-06-20
Reagan began his acting career reading cue-cards in the service of General Electric during his stint at the "GE Playhouse." Reagan's move to the White House had him doing much the same, reading cue-cards written for him by Big Business, including GE, a weapons and energy conglomerate that owns NBC.
If people want to get a good feel for the Reagan administration, I'd recommend the books of Michael Parenti, who documents the legacy of dirty wars in Latin America and the global class war that is turning our planet into a dystopia of haves and have-nots. Globalized "Reaganomics" (aka, neoliberalism) is creating a planet of slums and prisons, war and ecocide. The parts of government that served the general public are being shredded, while the entitlement programs of war profiteers and various robber barrons create record profits.
It's interesting to see the reverence Kim Jong Reagan receives; but whether people like him or not is immaterial, he wasn't in charge of the country. Rather, very rich and powerful corporate executives and an army of lawyers and lobbyists entrenched themselves during the Reagan administration. This corporate coup is something that many presidents have warned us about, including President Martin Van Buren who said, "I am more than ever convinced of the dangers to which the free and unbiased exercise of political opinion - the only sure foundation and safeguard of republican government - would be exposed by any further increase in the already overgrown influence of corporate authorities."
If people can break-away from the Reagan illusion, and want to learn about real power in this country, I'd recommend the DVD "The Corporation," and the books and radio show of Thom Hartmann.
Book Description
Written by a former World War II flight navigator, this book traces the parallel development of night bombing within the RAF and that of the Luftwaffe's Night Fighter Force, culminating in the strategic bombing offensive and the German aerial defense against that offensive. It encompasses the historical, strategic, tactical and technical aspects of the subject, and contains a large amount of material based on personal experience.

A smashing piece.......2006-04-24
The Other Battle: Luftwaffe Night Aces Versus Bomber Command by Peter Hinchliffe tells the struggle of the British night raids during WWII. Focus for the book is Bomber Commands raids and the Luftwaffe's response to the raids. Mr. Hinchliffe takes us from the RAF's opening raids against Germany (and the failure of these early daylight raids) into their night raids during the heart of the war (1943 and 1944), concluding with the Gotterdammerung of Germany in 1945. These raids go from minor affairs where a few planes fly blindly thru the night, to hundreds destroying cities. The book can effectively be broken into four parts: The early war (Chapter 1, Back to War thru Chapter 4, The End of the Beginning); the mid war (Chapters 5 thru 10, 10 tells the story of the Nuremberg raid in March of 1944); preparing for the Invasion; and Gotterdammerung.
What is arguably the greatest piece of this book is that Mr. Hinchliffe tells us of the technical war that is being fought by the two sides. The Germans with their increasingly complex defenses and uses of different tactics (Wild Boar vs. Tame Boar) and the British with their increasing forces, ability to drop greater bomb loads, and increasing technology. While many people are quoted in this book, this is not a personal/unit history ala Stephen Ambrose. Instead, this is a history book that provides a good analysis of the combat occurring and good descriptions of what the combatants (from the national level down to the people flying the missions) are doing and how they're reacting.
Since Mr. Hinchliffe was a navigator in Bomber Command during WWII, his book has a little more personal touch than many other books dealing with this subject. There are some excellent maps in the book (a must for a good history book) along with some good pictures and drawings dealing with technical pieces used during the war (the drawing of the radar displays used by the Germans was great). If you're interested in how the night raids were performed in WWII, this book is a 5 star book! The technical details are very good, and some great biographies. As a history book, once more, 5 stars. Overall, 4.5, but since this is Amazon, I'll round up to 5!
Great combination of the big picture and significant details.......2003-03-03
Without taking sides the author tells the story of both sides of the night bombing campaign. Technical details were especially fascinating since I was an air search radar operator in the Navy in my younger days. Great description of progress made by both sides in a short period on things we take for granted today such as air intercept radar and electronic countermeasures. Well compiled with interviews from both British and German aircrew. Highly recommended!!
Extremely technical.......1999-11-16
This book gives you a nice all-around view of night fighting in Europe during WW II. It is extremely technical, and I thought it lacks a little bit concerning the human side of the pilots, engineers, etc. But it is the best book ever written about the subject, no doubt about that.
An Outstanding, impartial book on the Nachtjäger in WWII.......1999-10-20
When I say this book is impartial, I mean it is impartial in the fullest sense of the word. The author not only presents a bias-free view, he also writes in a lucid manner. The operations are described in great detail, and with proper analysis. Each stage and battle has significance, and we are brought to appreciate this complex air battle that raged for five years, involving the brave crews of the Allied bomber fleets, and the equally brave and tenacious Nachtjagd crews. We come face to face with the elite of the nightfighters including Schnaufer, Lent, Prinz zu-Sayn Wittgenstein and Becker. I feel this book is a must for understanding night operations over Europe during world war two and for all military buffs.
A Well Balanced View of the Night War.......1999-03-10
The author has written a very balanced view of both sides of the Night War during WWII. His viewpoint is that the pilots and crews of both sides did their duty,full stop. One to bomb, the other to defend. His descriptions of the Luftwaffe Nightfighter aces and the overall strategies of the Luftwaffe High Command are quite accurate. I was quite suprised by his generous comments on Major Prinz Heinrich Sayn zu-Wittgenstein. They were a far cry from authors who while not disputing his courage and charisma, tend to label him as being overly ambitious.This author however dismisses that concept and rightly so. The Night aces, Schnaufer, Lent, Sayn zu-Wittgenstein,Meurer and Streib and many others were concerned with shooting down bombers decimating their civilian population and industrial areas and not with being ambitious. Although it cannot be denied that in this deadly game of cat and mouse they were in friendly rivalries in the mildest sense of the term, at least. A fine book for reference as well.
Book Description
mericans in the twenty-first century are keenly aware of the many forms of terrorism: hijackings, biological attacks, chemical weapons. But the deadliest form is almost too scary to think about-a terrorist group exploding a nuclear device in an American city. In this urgent call to action, Graham Allison, one of America's leading experts on nuclear weapons and national security, presents the evidence for two provocative, compelling conclusions. First, if policy makers in Washington keep doing what they are currently doing about the threat, a nuclear terrorist attack on America is inevitable. Second, the surprising and largely unrecognized good news is that nuclear terrorism is, in fact, preventable. In these pages, Allison offers an ambitious but feasible blueprint for eliminating the possibility of nuclear terrorist attacks, if we are willing to face the issue squarely.

Sobering and Encouraging.......2007-09-13
Graham Allison's book is at once sobering and encouraging. The revelations about the A.Q. Khan nuclear "marketplace" in Pakistan is chilling and gives reason for profound concern. I appreciate his ability to take a rather complex and aecane subject and make it accessible to lay readers. For thirty years I have studied and worked on nuclear issues knowing that nations had it in their interests not to engage in nuclear war because the costs were no less than possible annihilation! Now, subnational groups are very close to acquiring the ultimate weapon, and there is a substantial risk that an atomic bomb could be detonated in an America city.
As terrifying as such a possibility is, it does not have to happen! We are not powerless to stop it! Dr. Graham makes it clear that cutting off access to HEU and P239 is possible. He insists that the U.S. and international community take the necessary steps to safegaurd weapons grade fissile materials. As a citizen I appreciate the important work Dr. Graham and others are doing to prevent nuclear weapons falling into the hands of irresponsible people and groups. This is a must read book!
Should Be Mandatory Reading .......2007-05-08
Even with what I believe are some flaws this is a great book that deserves to be read. The subject is so critical to our future that our citizens should read several. If only one is to be read then as others have commented, The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism is probably the better choice.
The book's description of the foundation of the threat is great. However, from that point forward I have problems with some of the solutions. There is a presumption that other nations want to prevent nuclear terrorism against the US and that there is unity in action. Certainly that is not the case in the world as there are a number of nations who would quietly applaud a nuclear attack on the US. There's also the issue that has plagued people for the ages - people, cities, states and nations acting in what they believe are their self interests in the hope that others will be sacrificed but that they will escape.
From Chamberlin's dealings with Hitler to the recent massacre at Virginia Tech people have shunned the struggle on the assumption that others would die but not them. Terrorists have been masters at dividing those nations who may oppose them. They learned the 2,000 year old lessons of Sun Tzu. One bombing in Spain changed the election outcome and their policy on confronting terrorism. Our blueprint for the struggle should not assume that a large majority of other nations will join us.
At the end of the chapter on managing the threat the author comments," The time has come for us to confront the fact that no one is going to save us from nuclear terrorism but ourselves. The choice is ours to grab this beast by the horns, or to be impaled on its horns. We do not have the luxury of hoping this beast will simply go away."
How do we accomplish the task. Well, suppose we assigned the task to John Wooden or another legendary coach. Their primary tasks would be setting goals, creating and nurturing a cultural foundation for success , developing a strategy, finding the right players and then assuring them the resources they need. Sadly our legislative bodies have left their role of setting policy and delivering resources to micro-manage the war on terror. The press is looking for thirty second sound bytes and the public wants the news to be over so they can see the latest Paris Hilton video.
Allison speaks of a strategy as having an assurance of success. However, there's no such assurance in today's world and as much as we may want to believe we must realize that the outcome very much hangs in the balance. Winning this struggle will not be the result of a blueprint but rather an evolving, complex series of actions, some of which raise moral conflicts. By its nature the struggle needs the protection of security. We have already seen a number of successful intelligence operations compromised by leaks. Allison's vision of a nice clean, pretty strategy which gets nods on the cocktail circuit is not what's going to reduce the probability that millions of Americans will die.
In conclusion, a good read but simplistic solutions.
For the public the action they need to take is to put the right people in office and to keep them focused on this priority.
Outstanding--Read It America.......2007-02-27
This is a great read and every American should read it and then write their Senator about what Nuclear Terrorism means to you, individually. This is a piece of literature that, if (and I fear when) the "worst scenario imaginable" does occur, all the pundits will look back on and say, "how did we miss Graham Allison's work on Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe!"
God Bless America.
Political correctness triumphs over integrity.......2006-01-10
I got this book prompted by Allison's brilliant "Essence of Decision" on the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear Terrorism starts out well with an informative discussion of the nuts and bolts and history of nuclear proliferation. However, the final third of the book was a major disappointment. I suspect that Dr. Allison was mostly concerned with continuing to receive invitations to stylish cocktail parties in academia and felt obliged to bash the Bush policy on Iraq and to tout precisely the namby-pamby gutless policies he had just pointed out had failed to work consistently in the past. We should have a more "humble" foreign policy and get all other nations to agree not to let any other nations have nuclear weapons. That's what we tried to do during the 1990s and now face a nuclear North Korea, Pakistan, and possibly Iran, whereas Bush's get-tough policy kicked Libya out of the potential nuclear club. I would have expected better of Allison.
Depressing.......2005-12-31
According to a growing number of authorities I have read in recent years, a nuclear attack on the United States is almost inevitable. The bomb(s) will not come by intercontinental missile, but will be smuggled into the country, carried by car to most likely New York or Washington D.C., and detonated. Hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of people will die. It will be the worst catastrophe to befall the US ever and may result in world-wide social, political and economic chaos. The US may or may not know who planted the bomb, but you can be sure that some action will be taken, possibly of a nuclear nature.
Where will this bomb come from? Graham Allison, the founding dean of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, an expert on nuclear proliferation, gives these likely possibilities: from the inadequately accounted for Russian arsenal, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran's incipient program, or the bomb may be made from fissile material available on the black market. Allison makes it abundantly clear that how to make a bomb is not a problem. The information is readily available on the Web.
The question that daunts me is how will the US know for sure where the bomb originated and who planted it? It doesn't seem possible that after a nuclear explosion there could be a forensic signature in the rubble. Herein lies a big problem. Suppose the US thinks the bomb came from Russia, sold to Al Qaeda by a disgruntled group of ex-Soviet scientists and military people. How does the US retaliate? Bomb Russia? That would usher in a very quick WWIII with consequences too horrific to contemplate. Bomb western Pakistan where bin Laden may (or may not) be hiding? That seems pathetic.
The fact of the matter as I see it is that the US will not be able to retaliate in kind to a suitcase bomb exploded in one of our cities. Consequently there is no deterrent available such as the kind that kept the Cold War cold with Mutually Assured Destruction. Furthermore, the people who would plant such a bomb are religious fanatics of the Al Qaeda variety who wouldn't care if we killed them or not.
Therefore, this "inevitable" catastrophe has to be prevented. How? Allison proposes a most ambitious program using carrots and sticks on rogue incipient nuclear states to persuade them to give up their nuclear aspirations. The fewer bombs there are in the world the less likely one is to turn up in the hands of bin Laden. That makes sense. At the same time, spend whatever amount of money it takes (he estimates between 30 and 60 billion dollars will be necessary--a fraction of the amount we have already spent in Iraq) to buy up and otherwise acquire and deactivate any bombs that may be unaccounted for or produced. Additionally, we have to shore up our borders so that bombs cannot get in. How much this would cost, Allison doesn't say, and indeed his tone makes it clear to me that he doesn't think it will happen. There is a joke he relates. How do you smuggle an atomic bomb into the US? You wrap it in marijuana.
Although Allison gives us a program of how we might drastically decrease the odds of a bomb getting into the US, I don't think he makes much of a case for demonstrating how we can develop the political will to do it. Clearly the Bush administration is not getting the job done. The borders are as porous as ever. Iran and North Korea are moving ahead with their bomb-building programs. Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are healthy and gaining recruits. Nuclear security in Russia is abysmal. I wonder if Bush thinks that the Rapture will come soon, making nuclear terrorism a moot issue.
Allison does not say this, but it is clear that he doesn't think the Bush administration is doing anywhere near what it should to prevent nuclear terrorism. I really do wonder why. Does it seem too overwhelming a task? Or is it incompetence or stupidity? Or something more sinister?--like actually inviting a pretext for an all-out war with Islam, which we would presumably win, and gain great favor with the Almighty in doing so.
This is a good book, extensively documented, clearly presented, and it couldn't be timelier. But it is ultimately dissatisfying because most of the information about what the US is or is not doing to meet the nuclear threat is classified and does not appear in the book. In reading this I felt like I was reading a manuscript that had great portions of it excised so only the most obvious information was available. Despite my cynicism, surely the Bush administration IS doing everything it can to prevent a nuclear catastrophe. Yet we really know nothing specifically about just what action it is taking. Is there a plan to surgically bomb North Korea's nuclear facilities if negotiations don't work? At what point will Israel or the US wipe out Iran's nascent bomb-building program? Clearly from what we know of the fanaticism of the ruling theocracy, they will have no compunction about using nuclear weapons if they have them--or better yet, giving them to Al Qaeda to use.
So this book is good up to a point--up to the point of what is really going on. Unfortunately we will not know that until some decades down the road when the relevant documentation is declassified.
Meanwhile, I would NOT recommend relocating to New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago or any other tempting target. As Allison relates, Al Qaeda wants four million dead Americans and they won't get them by hijacking planes or dynamiting school children.
