Anti-Reagan books

Can anyone recommend a few good titles?

1. Landslide by Jane Mayer and someone

is a sort of classic from 1988, I think. It picks apart Reagan's election and the aftermath. Very interesting on the subject of Iran-Contra.

Ronnie Dugger also wrote a scathing anti-Reagan book, the name of which I forget, but it was a lot of fun to read many, many years ago.

2. Landslide

Actually I bought it last week at a library sale for $0.25!

This has made me more interested in finding other books.

3. Ronnie Dugger's book came out in time for the 1984 Election.

It's huge but doesn't cover Iran-Contra (unless he revised it, which is likely, come to thik of it).

Also, go to consortiumnews.com and look for links to Lost History by Robert Parry, which is about the whole ugly mess of Bush I style covert foreign policy. I've never read it, but it looks very tasty.

4. "The Clothes Have No Emperor," Paul Slansky,

day-by-day (more or less) account of the Reagan years. Provides facts and quotes, so is technically "anti-".

5. Garry Wills' bio....

...Reagan's America, Haynes Johnson's Sleepwalking Through History: America in the Reagan Years.
