Ronald Reagan Boulevard -- A man before myth -- An untaxing burden -- Warrior defused -- Prospero unmasked -- Rolling back Reagan -- Enter the mythmakers -- The great misinterpreter -- Reagan's '08 campaign -- Exorcising Gipper's ghost.
Bunch rolls back some of the worst distortions concerning the Reagan myth: that Reagan was one of the most popular modern presidents; that his tax cut caused the bull market of the 1980s; and that he won the Cold War, and examines the Gipper's conservatist legacy as it continues to impact America's political and economic situation.
