Overview
Ronald Reagan changed the political landscape of the U.S. domestic scene. Under Reagan, the role of government became more limited, and it was scaled down from the liberal welfare state of the 1960s. A case also could be made that Reagan transformed foreign policy by questioning the legitimacy of the Soviet Union, calling it an ""evil empire"" whose continued existence was not inevitable. In the end, Reagan proved to be a transformational president having made a lasting impact on both domestic and foreign policy. Ronald Reagan's legacy is reflected in many of the citations contained in this new comprehensive bibliography, which encompasses his entire life, with an emphasis on his presidency. Areas covered include rhetoric, communication, interviews, and selected writings of Ronald Reagan; biographical publications; childhood and early years; Reagan's pre-presidential political career; the Reagan presidency (including contemporary assessments, the politics of the Reagan administration, institutions, domestic issues, foreign policy, defense/military issues, national security, the assassination attempt, constitutional and legal issues, and Iran-Contra); administration personnel; post-presidential years; Reagan's personal life; bibliographies, satire and humor, iconography, and fiction and poetry; and Reagan's legacy.

Reviews
This work can be considered a foundation from which researchers can begin to sift through this literature in a deliberate, systematic way... An essential bibliography... Highly recommended for anyone researching his political life and legacy. American Reference Books Annual This volume comprises books and articles (both academic and popular), chapters in collective works, pamphlets, theses, and government publications, dating between 1961 (before Reagan had embarked on a political career) and 2005. A bibliography is usually very dry, but this one affords some relief in the satirical section, which offers titles like The Fascist Gun in the West, The Ronald Reagan Coloring Book, and even one which the editor has felt obliged to censor on account of its indecency... Reference Reviews Thoroughgoing, well plotted, and easy to use, this bibliography is recommended for American history collections. Library Journal
