Although he left office nearly 20 years ago, Ronald Reagan remains
a potent symbol for the conservative movement. The Bush
administration frequently invokes his legacy as it formulates and
promotes its fiscal, domestic, and foreign policies. His name is
watchword for campus conservatives who regard him in a way that
borders on hero worship. Conservative media pundits often equate
the term "Reagan-esque" with personal honor, fiscal rectitude, and
unqualified success in dealing with foreign threats. But how much
of the Reagan legacy is based on fact, how much on idealized myth?
And what are the reasons - political and otherwise - behind the
mythmaking? "Deconstructing Reagan" is a fascinating study of the
interplay of politics and memory concerning our fortieth president.
While giving credit where credit is due, the authors scrutinize key
aspects of the Reagan legacy and the conservative mythology that
surrounds it.
