Reaganland

The book weaves together many events, but I wonder what led to the selection of certain episodes as defining turning points in Reagan's story.

The way Perlstein dissected Reagan’s speeches and tactics added a layer of understanding. I’m curious if others saw this as a window into his character.

The framing of the book suggests a broader commentary on political realignment, but I wonder what motivated Perlstein’s emphasis on this particular period.
