Ronald Reagan: The American Presidency

First published in 1990. American as well as British students will find much that is interesting and illuminating in this British view of the Reagan presidency.

David Mervin writes as an experienced American politics specialist whose study includes first-hand observation in the United States.

Putting aside policy substance and concentrating on effectiveness in using the political process, Mervin portrays Reagan's presidential record more favorably than may be common in the British community.
