The Triumph of Nancy Reagan
PDF KINDLE EPUB
Descriptions Of Book :
The definitive biography of the fiercely vigilant and politically astute First Lady who
shaped one of the most consequential presidencies of the 20th century: Nancy
Reagan.The made-in-Hollywood marriage of Ronald and Nancy Reagan is more than
a love story—it’s the partnership that made him president. Of the pair, Nancy was the
one with the sharper instincts about people, the superior radar for trouble, and the
keen sense of how to secure his place in history. The only person in the world to
whom Ronald Reagan felt truly close, Nancy understood how to foster his strengths
and compensate for his weaknesses. Neither timid nor apologetic about wielding her
power, Nancy Reagan made herself a place in history. But that confidence took years
to develop. Nancy’s traumatic early childhood instilled in her a lifelong anxiety and a
craving for security. Born into a broken marriage, she spent seven years yearning for
the absent mother who abandoned her to pursue an acting career. When she met
Ronnie, who had a difficult upbringing of his own, the two fractured halves became
whole. And as Ronnie turned from acting to politics, she did too, helping build the
scaffolding of his rise and cultivating the wealthy and powerful figures who would help
pave his way. Not only was Nancy crucial in shaping Ronald’s White House team and
in softening her husband’s rhetoric, she became an unseen force pushing her
husband toward what she saw as his grandest purpose—to shake his image as a
warmonger and leave behind a more peaceful world. This book explores the
multifaceted character of Nancy Reagan and reveals new details surrounding the
tumultuous presidency. The Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty spent four
years interviewing the people who knew this couple best and draws on overlooked
archives, letters, memoirs, and White House records, compiling the most extensive
biography of Nancy Reagan yet. From the AIDS epidemic to tensions with the Soviets
and the war on drugs, this book shows how Nancy Reagan became one of the most
influential First Ladies of the century.
