Informative and interesting submitted by JulieCraig on September 11, 2022, 9:08am I remember when a lot of this happened but was less interested in politics. For a history book, the audio book has been very interesting to me. Also puts some newer events in context of what happened previously in US politics. More than just Reagan.
