{"product_id":"book-evvn","title":"The Reagan Revolution","description":"\"They called it the Reagan revolution,\" Ronald Reagan noted in his Farewell Address. \"Well, I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscovery of our values and our common sense.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNearly two decades after that 1989 speech, debate continues to rage over just how revolutionary those Reagan years were. \u003ci\u003eThe Reagan Revolution: A Very Short Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e identifies and tackles some of the controversies and historical mysteries that continue to swirl around Reagan and his legacy, while providing an illuminating look at some of the era's defining personalities, ideas, and accomplishments. Gil Troy, a well-known historian who is a frequent commentator on contemporary politics, sheds much light on the phenomenon known as the Reagan Revolution, situating the reception of Reagan's actions within the contemporary liberal and conservative political scene. Nevertheless, as Troy shows, two and a half decades after Reagan's 1981 inauguration, his legacy continues to shape American politics, diplomacy, culture, and economics. Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush modeled much of their presidential leadership styles on Reagan's example, while many of the debates of the 80s about the budget, tax cutting, defense-spending, and American values still rage.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49367078601008,"sku":"BDevvn","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49367078633776,"sku":"ZEevvn","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49367078666544,"sku":"ZMevvn","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/evvn-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780056494","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-evvn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
