FREE shipping- Book and CD-Crowded with photographs of the grinning Gipper and accompanied by a CD of his voice, this offering from Reagan's first biographer condenses the unusual path to the White House taken by the fortieth president. Cannon concedes he has reworked previous material into the text, so readers of his President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime (1991) or the official and controversial biography Dutch by Edmund Morris (1999) will find this narrative a bit old hat, especially on the policy side.
