Praise for Steven F. Hayward's "The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the
Old Liberal Order, 1964--1980
"
"Grand and fascinating history . . . "The Age of Reagan" goes far
towards making the definitive historical case for Reagan's
greatness."
--"National Review"
"Reads at times like a grand historical drama, a kind of "War and
Peace" of the American century, complete with romance and adventure
and tragic characters, a thrilling survey of what we might have
thought to be familiar history but which appears here quite
transformed."
--"Times Literary Supplement"
"A massive achievement . . . It is hard to imagine anyone doing
better. . . . Mr. Hayward leaves us awed by his achievement and
looking forward hungrily to Volume II."
--"Washington Times"
"Excellent . . . [Hayward] acknowledges Mr. Reagan's sunny
personality and ease in public, but he dismisses these as
significant factors in his election. What mattered was Mr. Reagan's
unflinching conservatism and strong character, coupled with
liberalism's failures. Mr. Hayward is persuasive on this
point."
--"Wall Street Journal"
"A big, bold, ambitious book by one of the rising stars of the
conservative intellectual movement, Steven F. Hayward . . . The
best historical biography yet written about our fortieth
president."
--"World and I "
"An invaluable contribution to the small but growing body of
serious work that finally gives Reagan his due. Readers not only
will profit immensely from reading this first volume, but will long
for the publication of the next."
--"Weekly Standard"
"A magnificent new history of our times. It is a big book in every
way and yet it reads quickly and delightfully. . . . "The Age of
Reagan" is the best single-volume account of Reagan's rise and
liberalism's fall. This superb book deserves and undoubtedly will
get a wide readership."
--"Claremont Review of Books"
