----------ORIGINAL MESSAGE----------
From: In These Times
Subject: Get your copy of Rick Perlstein's "Reaganland"
This is an offer we've been looking forward to giving readers for a long time now -- and a book all of us at In These Times have been looking forward to reading.
In These Times was the first national publication to publish Rick Perlstein's work, and Reaganland is the epic conclusion to his multi-part history of the rise of the Right, and how conservatism took control of political power in America. But it can also be read as a standalone book focusing on how a Hollywood celebrity who was widely mocked by Democrats reenergized conservatives, ran on the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”—and won.
Across more than 1,100 pages, Reaganland tells the story of how it happened, tracing conservatives’ cutthroat strategies to gain power and explaining why they endure four decades later.
“Reaganland is terrific, a work whose characteristic insight and soaring ambition make it a fitting and resonant conclusion to Perlstein’s astounding achievement.” —Slate
“As with Perlstein’s other books, Reaganland blends politics and culture, so serial killers, horror movies, cocaine parties, and hockey games make appearances as reflections of American anxieties.” —The Progressive
“Some pundits found it impossible to imagine that the American electorate could be swindled by a has-been entertainer, a notorious prevaricator, a man so out of touch with the nation’s anxious mood. Heading into the fall, Perlstein pointed out, Democrats felt a surge of confidence: 'Reagan’s dumb, Carter’s smart, we’ll run away with the election.' Actually, 'confidence' is my word. The word Perlstein used was 'hubris.'” —The New Yorker
This is an important book for anyone who wants to better understand the last two decades of American politics. It's also an incredible read.
