SUMMARY:Ronald Reagan: His Life & Legend with Max Boot | WorldNow
DESCRIPTION:Historian\, author\, and CFR foreign policy expert Max Boot reintroduces us to one of America’s most consequential and controversial presidents – and his lasting impact on the U.S. and the world. In conversation with Jim Falk. \n“A timely and fascinating book\, just what we need to understand\, and perhaps transcend\, our current age of political paralysis and polarization…Understanding Reagan is key to understanding our politics today.” –Walter Isaacson\, author of Elon Musk and Steve Jobs \nThe details:\nWhen: Monday\, September 23 | 7:00PM ET\nWhere: Zoom Webinar\nTickets: No charge | Register for Zoom link \n\n\nWorldNow with Jim Falk is hosted by the World Affairs Council of Connecticut and Global Santa Fe. Presented in partnership with the Alaska World Affairs Council\, Dallas Committee on Foreign Relations\, Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations\, SMU Center for Presidential History\, World Affairs Council of Albuquerque\, World Affairs Council of Austin\, World Affairs Council of Colorado Springs\, World Affairs Council of Hampton Roads\, World Affairs Council of Houston\, World Affairs Council of Jacksonville\, World Affairs Council of Orange County\, World Affairs Council of South Texas\, World Affairs Council of Western Massachusetts\, WorldOregon\, and Perspectives Matter. \n\nAbout the Book\n \nReagan: His Life & Legend by Max Boot\nSon of the Midwest\, movie star\, and mesmerizing politician—America’s fortieth President comes to three-dimensional life in this gripping and profoundly revisionist biography.  \nFrom best-selling biographer Max Boot comes this revelatory portrait\, a decade in the making\, of the actor-turned-politician whose telegenic leadership ushered in a transformative conservative era in American politics. Despite his fame as a Hollywood star and television host\, Reagan remained a man of profound contradictions\, even to those closest to him. Never resorting to either hagiography or hit job\, REAGAN charts his epic journey from Depression-era America to “Morning in America.” Providing fresh insight into “trickle-down economics\,” the Cold War’s end\, the Iran-Contra affair\, and so much more\, this definitive biography is as compelling a presidential biography as any in recent decades. Purchase Reagan: His Life & Legend here. \n\nAbout the Author\nMax Boot\, historian and foreign-policy analyst\, is a senior fellow for national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a columnist for the Washington Post. His New York Times bestseller\, The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam\, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography.\n \n  \n\nAbout the Moderator\nJim Falk is President Emeritus of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth and Global Santa Fe’s Program Chair. Jim co-hosts Perspectives Matter\, a McCuistion Program\, that airs weekly on KERA-Dallas (PBS).
