Dutch

A Memoir of Ronald Reagan
Book • 2000
This book is a monumental work that offers an insightful and elegant portrait of Ronald Reagan, covering his life from his youth as 'Dutch' to his roles as a middle-aged Cold Warrior and septuagenarian Chief Executive.

Written after thirteen years of exhaustive research and thousands of hours of interviews, Morris combines scholarship with literary imagination.

The biography is notable for its use of a biographical doppelganger to follow Reagan through each phase of his life, integrating his story with the times and explaining the powerful link between Reagan and the American people.
