Can anyone recommend a good, objective political biography with a broad focus on both his domestic and foreign policy, something maybe a little like Richard Reeves' narratives of the JFK and Nixon White House epochs? Amazon is totally polarized on the subject.

Try the books by Lou Cannon--they are better balanced than most.

I would recommend "President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime" by L. Cannon. 😀

Thanks guys, I really appreciate this.

There's only one polarized review of this on Amazon...I think every other biography I've looked at has had no fewer than a score of tendentious reviews...

I reviewed Dutch years ago on amazon; now they owe me money, so a boycott is in effect.
