THE REAGAN YEARS by Hodding Carter ..... Hardcover Book

Signed by the author!

The Reagan era in American politics has drawn to a close only formally. It is clear that many of the policies that the administration has enacted will continue to have important long-term effects both at home and abroad. As the President exits his office, it will be up to his critics in the media, who have assessed his performance thus far, to determine his overall success or failure. Few have risen to that occation as Hodding Carter has.

Since 1981, Hodding Carter has been one of the Reagan administration's most articulate and thoroughgoing critics. This book collects for the first time in a single volume his most important political commentaries, published originally in the Wall Street Journal.

What will be the outcome of Reaganomics? What has become the status of blacks after Reagan and the candidacy of Jesse Jackson? What kind of moral failure led to the Iran-Contra controversy?

The key questions have been raised by many. As this collection illustrates, however, no one has been so consistent in providing intelligent answers and insights as Hodding Carter. Although a Democrat and openly partisan, Carter challenges Reagan and his supporters and his detractors as well.

My late father had collected many fine books - this is one from his estate. It has been highlighted and annotated. He often clipped newspaper articles about books in his collection or their authors, and kept them in the book. Some are included in this book.
