Description
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.

3By KathyNYCGreatest President, gutsy, brought America out of a recession, record inflation, unemployment. Crushed drug cartels Disappointing that that he had years of ramped promiscuityMust read for Reagan followers!

5By joegunter99O’Reilly and Dugard deliver once again. Details we never knew, such as Hinckley’s previously unreported skill with the cheap-but-deadly Saturday Night Special. Also, new details about the tragic cognitive decline of our beloved 40th president. Must read.Great book

5By Dick44rThis was a very delightful book to read. It held your attention and kept your interest, it also was factual and to the point. So far I have enjoyed all of Bill O'Reilly's books. But I think this by far is the best, although killing Patton was very very good as well.Killing Reagan
