Reagan: His Life and Legend

Max Boot in Conversation with Kai Bird

Tuesday, September 24, 6:30 p.m.

Elebash Recital Hall

From bestselling biographer Max Boot comes this revelatory portrait of Ronald Reagan, the actor-turned-politician whose telegenic presidency ushered in a transformative conservative era in American politics. Providing insights into “trickle-down economics,” the Cold War’s end, the Iran-Contra affair, and so much more, Boot (a one-time Republican policy adviser) reveals the complicated man behind the mythology in this definitive and compelling presidential biography. A columnist for The Washington Post and an acclaimed author of many books, he speaks about Reagan with Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of American Prometheus (the basis for the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer) and executive director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography.

Presented with the Leon Levy Center for Biography.
