Book Overview

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.

The basis for the 2016 television movie available on streaming.

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.

A wonderful account of Reagan's life

Published by Raphana , 1 month ago
As a teen growing up in the 80s, I was still pretty young during President Reagan's first term. By his second term, I was in high school then college and very tuned in to what was going on in the world via the daily news. Over the years, I have read quite a few books about Reagan, and this was one of the best if not THE BEST. It is detailed enough to give the reader a good sense of who he was before and after his presidency but not so lengthy that one feels you are in for a month long read. I found it to not be either too complimentary or too negative. It told of his faults as well as his best attributes in a well written style. I would highly recommend this for any high school or college students that are far too young to know or understand how Reagan literally changed the world.

Great account of the life of Reagan

Published by Bruce Blankenship , 1 year ago
I thought I knew Ronald Reagan until I read this book. I grew up during that time of our nations politics, but really had no idea of his history. All students should be reading about the personal lives of our politicians, especially this account of Reagan and his rise to the top.
