From the bestselling team of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard
comes Killing Reagan, a page-turning epic account of
the career of President Ronald Reagan that tells the vivid
story of his rise to power -- and the forces of evil that
conspired to bring him down.
Just two months into his
presidency, Ronald Reagan lay near death after a gunman's
bullet came within inches of his heart. His recovery was
nothing short of remarkable -- or so it seemed. But Reagan
was grievously injured, forcing him to encounter a challenge
that few men ever face. Could he silently overcome his
traumatic experience while at the same time carrying out the
duties of the most powerful man in the world?
Told in
the same riveting fashion as Killing Lincoln,
Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing
Patton, Killing Reagan reaches back to the golden
days of Hollywood, where Reagan found both fame and
heartbreak, up through the years in the California
governor's mansion, and finally to the White House, where he
presided over boom years and the fall of the Iron Curtain.
But it was John Hinckley Jr.'s attack on him that
precipitated President Reagan's most heroic actions. In
Killing Reagan, O'Reilly and Dugard take readers
behind the scenes, creating an unforgettable portrait of a
great man operating in violent times.
