The Reagan presidency: an incomplete revolution?

The Reagan presidency has been both eulogised and reviled.

Supporters have claimed that Ronald Reagan not only regenerated American power and restored American prestige but changed the direction of domestic policy in a way which marked the end of a twenty year period of expanding government.

This book explores the Reagan policy style and substance.

It considers the initial aspirations of the two Reagan administrations, examines the constraints with which they had to contend, and assesses the legacy of achievement and failure.
