About this book
Ronald Reagan's presidency marked a pivotal shift in American politics, culture, and global relations. His conservative revolution in the 1980s reshaped the nation and helped bring about the end of the Cold War, leaving a lasting legacy that still influences the United States today.
This book explores Reagan's rise from Hollywood actor to powerful political leader. It traces how he challenged traditional Republican values and implemented policies that transformed the country's social and political landscape.
Key issues such as abortion, gay rights, law and order, tax cuts, deindustrialization, and the Religious Right are examined to show how they contributed to Reagan's legislative successes. The book also highlights his masterful use of public relations, including the iconic "morning in America" campaign, showcasing his ability to shape public opinion through media.
