De Witt Clinton and the Rise of the People's Men
Straight-forward and even-handed account of our 40th President. The narrative moves sprightly along (no surprise given the length of the book, covering a two-term presidency), with a balanced presentation of Reagan's accomplishments (detente with the Soviets, recovering some of the people's trust in the federal gov't, especially the White House) and his failures (Iran-Contra, the malaise of the last couple of years, economic instability). I like how Reeves characterizes Reagan's hands-off style, especially compared with his predecessors. I appreciated the emphasis on the relationships between Reagan's staffers and how they fit into the Administration's policy goals. However, I would have liked some more insight into the President as a man. The occasional slivers of insight (such as the analysis of his personality changes after being shot) were more often than not a tease, shallow and fleeting.
