The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order: 1964-1980

The Age of Reagan brings to life the tumultuous decade and a half that preceded Ronald Reaganâ‚¬s ascent to the White House. Drawing on scores of interviews and years of research, Steven F. Hayward takes us on an engrossing journey through the most politically divisive years the United States has had to endure since the decade before the Civil War.

Hayward captures an America at war with itselfâ‚¬"and an era whose reverberations we feel to this very day. He brings new insight into the profound failure of Lyndon Johnsonâ‚¬s Great Society, the oddly liberal nature of Richard Nixonâ‚¬s administration, the significance of Reaganâ‚¬s years as Californiaâ‚¬s governor, the sudden-death drama of his near defeat of Gerald Ford in the 1976 Republican primary, the listlessness of Jimmy Carterâ‚¬s leadership, and the political earthquake that was Reaganâ‚¬s victorious presidential campaign in 1980.

Provocative, authoritative, and majestic in scope, The Age of Reagan is an unforgettable account of the rebirth and triumph of the American spirit.
