Now that the front page belongs to George Bush, what are analysts
saying about Ronald Reagan? And how will the Reagan legacy shape
policy and politics into the next century? "Looking Back on the
Reagan Presidency" offers the latest thinking of nineteen leading
president-watchers. Edited by Larry Berman, the volume appraises
the administration's policies and initiatives and speculates about
what the Reagan years will mean to the future.
Robert Pastor describes Reagan's failure in Latin America and
the problems that remain for Bush. Condoleezza Rice examines the
unexpected transformation of relations with the Soviets. Walter
Murphy looks at Reagan's far-reaching impact on the courts.
Additional discussions of congressional relations, tax policy,
electoral politics, the institution of the presidency-- and an
insightful Afterword by Richard Neustadt-- make this a challenging
and comprehensive look at the "Reagan Revolution."
No president since F.D.R. so redefined the parameters of
political debate in America. Yet for all his popular success,
Reagan's lasting influence is far from clear. What will his legacy
mean to future generations? "Looking Back on the Reagan Presidency"
is a fascinating preview from the scholars who will find the
history in the Reagan years.
