Quite informative.

Revisado: 05-23-21

I find this book very informative. I knew little of the Guadalcanal campaign, except for the loss of Wasp and Hornet, so it has been an educating read.

Less a Trump defense, more an Obama/Clinton attack

Revisado: 06-26-20

VDH is great as always, but this book doesn't exactly live up to it's name. The majority of it is spend setting the political landscape of how forty years of presidential mishandling of the economy gutted the American interior and set the stage for Trump. VDH does go into great detail on the Spygate scandal and this book is a great resource on the subject. However, he spends a single chapter on DJT's achievements. In the end, this is more an argument for voting against Clinton/Obama and less an argument to vote for DJT. I found that disappointing, as the writing is as high quality as all of VDH's works.

Solid story of President Reagan as a leader

Revisado: 08-19-19

I thought this was an excellent overview of President Reagan's life. Similar to "Crusader", it covers a lot of his pre-presidential life. I appreciated learning about President Reagan's days in college, Hollywood and working for GE. I think this book shorted some of the details of his presidency in exchange for details of his pre and post presidential years. The story of Reagan's decline with Alzheimer's disease was heartbreaking without being melodramatic. Overall a good story, but as with Patriot's History, Schweikart neglect's the greater impact of Ronald Reagan and his America upon the world beyond a few paragraph's.
