Summary
"Reagan's War Stories examines the relationship between Ronald Reagan, the public, and popular culture. From an overview of Reagan's youth and the pulp fiction he consumed, we get a sense of the future president's good vs. evil outlook. Carrying that over into Reagan's reading an choices as president, Griffin situates narrative at the center of Reagan's political formation and leadership, providing a compelling account of both Reagan's life, his presidency, and a lens into non-traditional strategy formulation"-- Provided by publisher.
