Now that the boyz have had some bonding time...

What's the point of this thread res? If you want to talk about how Reagan was a supposed conservative, I have the facts that show differently.

:wave: I haven't!

I am now.

 

[ok doser]

i recommend it - it's dense and long, but covers a period of american history that's been pivotal for me - i was 13 in 1973, the summer of the watergate hearings, a conservative by tendency even then, and destined to be soured on politics at an early age

never had much interest in the reagan presidency - it coincided with a period of my life when i was dating my future wife, building my career, newly married, first home-ownership, etc

if anybody's read it, i'm interested in an analysis of perlstein's bias

Since you authored this thread, I'm interested in your take on the book. Was it pro Reagan or not?

 

[ok doser]

definitely not

I'm in the middle of three books right now. Do you recommend this book? I do feel surfeited with politics right now.
