Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan’s life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity.

Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale, which had been his three big goals. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered with a whopping 73 percent approval. He is beloved even today as his presidential library is visited far more than any other presidential library, by more than five million people each year. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. He is still regarded as one of the most admired men in America. The range of Reagan scholarship by virtue of books sold about him continues to grow. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionares grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He quite literally changed our world for the better and is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Partisan yes…but refreshingly different

This account cuts to the quick where the president’s biographers omit to tread—very judiciously drawing attention to persons and tendencies that were “friendly” drags on the president’s bold agenda. The author is, if a polemicist, an urbane one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much Too Subjective
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
Verified Purchase
At the age of 73, and having been a moderate conservative since the age of 15 (almost 60 years), I have been a huge fan of Reagan for decades. He is my favorite president of all time, I was an adult during his eight years in office, and I still consider him to be the person I most admire in my life.
As such, I was hoping for an objective book that would help me learn even more about this incredible man.
Unfortunately, it is way too subjective. The author treats Reagan as if he were a perfect human being, even a faultless god. According to the author, anyone who agrees with Reagan is a wonderful person. Anyone who disagrees with Reagan is wrong, stupid, selfish, or dishonest.
As a result, this book got boring very quickly. Every page was a gushing, syrupy tribute to Reagan, with virtually no objectivity. After 50 pages, I knew that the very next page was just going to be more of the same - how Reagan was a perfect human being.
I have always been wanting to convince people who disliked Reagan to take a deeper look and learn more about this amazing man. Unfortunately, if I gave this book to any such people, they would laugh within the first ten pages and say, "This is just silly propaganda."
And, despite being a huge, lifelong Reagan fan, I would have to agree with them.
