Nancy Reagan: A Life from Beginning to End
Discover the remarkable life of Nancy Reagan...
Free BONUS Inside!
In the 250-year history of the United States, there have been many first ladies, but Nancy Reagan remains one of the most memorable. She and her husband ushered in the 1980s, and during this time, Nancy herself became the public face of many important issues. Most famously, she tackled the growing problem of illegal drug use with the iconic “Just Say No” campaign, an effort that became so widespread and recognizable that it entered American culture permanently.
Yet as inspirational as she was, Nancy Reagan never set out to be involved in politics. She began her career as an aspiring actress. It was only after she set her sights on Ronald Reagan—then president of the Screen Actors Guild—that she was gradually drawn into the political world. She became the First Lady of California when Ronald became governor, and then the First Lady of the United States when he won the presidency. This book covers her life and legacy in full.

Firstly understand- I am not a fan of Nancy Reagan. Don't hate her but don't think that highly of her either. Sort of like the "meh" spouse of a really good friend. You tolerate them. Nancy had her good points - she made Reagan happy. That's sufficient.
The reason I pointed that out was to say once again an Hourly History author has an obvious bias. They probably don\t even realize they have it. But it's there. Example: "It was up to Ronald Reagan and his team to defeat the incumbent Jimmy carter in what promised to be a challenging election campaign." Really? Make it seem close- like the media of that election [I remember it well, 2nd presidential election I would be voting in.] The MSM made it seem like a toss-up but even this author had to report what he couldn't spin. "Ronald Reagan had won decisively, securing an impressive 489 electoral votes, while the incumbent President Jimmy Carter managed to secure only 49." How can that be challenging? The math ain't mathing folks.
That is where these books falter. Usually I love them and lavish high praise. But this bias/agenda thing gets under my skin quickly. So, I point it out.

Interesting Life
I was particularly touched by Nancy's early life and the breakup of her parents' marriage. It was sad that her father and grandmother were cut out of her life by her mother and to some extent herself. But the whole picture is still not 100% clear. Looking back, she and Ronald were such an iconic couple who I remember fondly.

Another great read
I did not know too much about Nancy and this book thoroughly changed that. It also joined a few dots. Not enough credit is given to the Reagan's about the ending of the cold war and Russia's collapse.
