For those readers who enjoy politics and history, businessman, political pundit and blog reader, Gary S. is my "go to" person for reviews. Recently he commented on Killing Reagon: The Violent Assault that Changed a Presidency by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard.
Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard are a well known team with many successful best sellers. Gary S. actually personally knows Dugard, an accomplished historian and political author. Dugard lives in California and allegedly is responsible for most of the writing....no surprise there....
Here's what Gary S. had to say.....
I finished Killing Reagan and would classify it as basically a biography of Reagan from his Hollywood days until he died. The assassination attempt played a small part in the book. There was no mention of his economic theories of 'trickle down' by cutting taxes for the rich. I thought it was really interesting but was definitely leaning towards the conservative narrative, that he was a great leader. The book focused very heavily on his dementia while in office and after he retired......
Definitely a good read.
