The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order: 1964-1980 - Softcover

"Reads at times like a grand historical drama . . . complete with romance and adventure and tragic characters; a thrilling survey of what we might have thought to be familiar history but which appears here quite transformed."
--Times Literary Supplement

"Excellent . . . [Hayward] acknowledges Mr. Reagan's sunny personality and ease in public, but he dismisses these as significant factors in his election. What mattered was Mr. Reagan's unflinching conservatism and strong character, coupled with liberalism's failures."
--Wall Street Journal

"Grand and fascinating history . . . goes far toward making the definitive historical case for Reagan's greatness."
--National Review

Brings to life the tumultuous decade and a half that preceded Ronald Reagan's ascent to the White House, taking us on an engrossing journey through the most politically divisive period the US has endured since the Civil War. Reprint.
