The Age of Reagan: A History, 1974-2008 by Sean Wilentz
2.0
1. I guess the dates need to be changed to 1974 to ???????
2. Read Rick Perlstein. Yes it's more pages and words, but better pages and words.
3. The Bill Clinton chapters are a hagiography of the Clinton administration. Yet, many of the problems we struggle with now - deregulation (including banks which plunged us into a global economic collapse), mass incarceration, the erosion of the social net - all continued to be aided by his administration. But Wilentz would just say I'm a cranky old New Deal liberal that can't realize things have changed and I'm the problem with the American left.
