O tym tytule

His name in American politics is more cited than any other president. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are radically different today, mainly as a result of Ronald Reagan and the force of his ideas. No twentieth century president shaped the American political landscape so profoundly.

Craig Shirley’s Last Act is the important final chapter in the life of Reagan that no one has thus far covered. It’s the kind of book that widens our understanding of American history and of the presidency and the men who occupied it. To tell Reagan’s story, Craig has secured the complete, exclusive, and enthusiastic support of the Reagan Foundation and Library and spent considerable time there reviewing sealed files and confidential information.

Cast in a grand and compelling narrative style, Last Act contains interesting and heretofore untold anecdotes about Reagan, Mrs. Reagan, their pleasure at retirement, the onslaught of the awful Alzheimer’s and how he and Mrs. Reagan dealt with the diagnosis, the slow demise, the extensive plans for a state funeral, the outpouring from the nation, which stunned the political establishment, the Reagan legacy, and how his shadow looms more and more over the Republican Party, Washington, the culture of America, and the world.

Coming from a long family of Reagan admirers, I was riveted and very moved by this book, and appreciate having an author state the accurate facts about the Reagan legacy. Obviously Trump was not the first to invent fake news. Critically I found the narrative to be a little disjointed and often a conglomeration of headlines gleaned from newspaper archives. That is a criticism of the narrative style but not of the content.
If you've ever experienced Europe before and after the Cold War you'll better understand and immensely appreciate and respect the freedom people nowadays take for granted.
That Reagan achieve this with his policies in a bloodless revolution should not cease to continue to amaze the world. Unfortunately, many detractors do not want to except this truth.
The book is very moving and an important contribution to history.
I highly recommend it and will certainly listen to this audio book several times again.

More moving than well written, but definitely worth reading
