Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "An important reassessment of the fourtieth president, placing him in the pantheon with Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. Following his departure from office, Ronald Reagan was marginalized thanks to liberal biases that dominate the teaching of American history, says John Patrick Diggins. Yet Reagan, like Lincoln (who was also attacked for decades after his death), deserves to be regarded as one of our three or four greatest presidents." - from the rear outer jacket. "In this maverick new work, distinguished historian John Patrick Diggins demonstrates how Ronald Reagan altered the course of American history more profoundly than any president since Franklin Roosevelt. Whereas FDR encountered an nation in the throes of a devastating economic depression, Reagan perceived the America of the 1980s as Emerson's "country of tomorrow", a land, Reagan later added, "that has never become, but [is] always in the act of becoming." This optimism was the hallmark of a political and moral philosophy forged for a troubled nation, informing the vision and leadership that ended a half-century's suicidal arms race without a single shot fired. In this work that melds intellectual, social, political, and diplomatic history, Diggins evaluates Reagan from the perspectives of Tocqueville, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, F.A. Hayek, George Kennan, Reinhold Nieburhr, Max Weber, and the two thinkers most admired by the president, Thomas Paine and Ralph Waldo Emerson. As Diggins explains, Reagan's political philosophy was shaped by the personal experiences of his youth. Having rescued dozens of people as a lifeguard, Reagan concluded that people are ashamed of being saved, as if echoing George Orwell's dictim: "A man receiving charity practically always hates his benefactor." Diggins further reveals how such experiences informed the politician in his later life. Beginning in the late 1940s as the president of the Screen Actors Guild - a platform, Diggins observes, for Reagan's future in politics - and then as governor of California, Reagan fought bureaucratic institutions that did less to solve problems than, as he put it, "subsidize them." Diggins is aware that many Americans would think it a sacrilege to mention Ronald Reagan in the same breath as Franklin Roosevlet or even Abraham Lincoln. But Reagan's legacy, especially his negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev, demonstrates that Reagan was not a rigid hawk, and that he was willing to work toward a peaceful solution to the cold war. In contrast to Lincoln, Reagan, whose hatred of communism was nearly as profound as the abolitionists' hatred of slavery, was able to free an enslaved people from tyranny without resorting to war. As this remarkable new biography shows, Reagan courageously departed from long-established ways of thinking and challenged the fatalism of both the Left and the Right. Radicals saw the historical coming of communism as inevitable; conservatives saw its established presence as irreversible. For Reagan, however, history "is not predetermined," for it "is in our hands." As Ronald Reagan draws to a close, we see how this romantic Emersonian defied an assassin's bullet, saw self-reliance as obedience to the soul, and esteemed freedom as "one of the deepest and most noble aspirations of the human spirit." A radical reassessment by a provocative and intriguing historian, Ronald Reagan is a bold new contribution to Reagan's presidential legacy." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
