The former president relates the story of his public and private life from his modest beginnings in the Midwest, through a distinguished film career, to a second career in politics. Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975 and as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1947 to 1952 and from 1959 until 1960. He escalated an arms race with the Soviet Union and transitioned Cold War policy from détente to rollback. He also survived an assassination attempt, fought public sector labor unions, spurred the war on drugs, and ordered the 1983 invasion of Grenada. Reagan left the presidency in 1989 with the American economy having seen a significant reduction of inflation, the unemployment rate having fallen, and the United States having entered its then-longest peacetime expansion. His presidency constituted the Reagan era, and he is considered a prominent conservative figure in the United States. Evaluations of his presidency among historians and scholars tend to place him among the upper tier of American presidents. More

James Romm is the James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Classics at Bard College and author of several books, including Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero and Ghost on the Throne: The Death of Alexander the Great and the War for Crown and Empire. He has edited numerous translations of ancient Greek texts, including the Anabasis of Arrian for the volume The Campaigns of Alexander in the distinguished Landmark Series of Ancient Historians. Seneca can be looked at in two ways. He was a writer, thinker, poet, moralist, and for many years the top advisor and close companion of the Emperor Nero. He was also a clever manipulator of undistinguished origin who connived his way into the center of Roman power. He used verbal brilliance to represent himself as a sage. He sought refuge at the altar of philosophy even while leading an assassination plot against the Emperor Nero, after which Seneca committed suicide. More

Bill Rust is the author of five books about US relations with Southeast Asian nations. Born in Washington, D.C., he began his editorial career at U.S. News and World Report, joining the Book Division as a researcher and subsequently contributing retrospective articles on the Vietnam War to the magazine. His most recent book, "The Mask of Neutrality: The United States and Decolonization in Indonesia, 1942-1950," is a deeply researched account of official US relations with Indonesia before, during, and after that nation's revolution. Like Rust's earlier histories, "The Mask of Neutrality" is an "origin story" that shows the beginning of America's disastrous engagement with Southeast Asia in the middle of the twentieth century. This book examines America's Vietnam policy under the Kennedy administration, and provides the historical focus to address critical and enduring speculations on what course of action President Kennedy might have pursued had his presidency not been foreshortened by assassination.

Pierre Emil George Salinger (June 14, 1925 – October 16, 2004) was an American politician, author and journalist. He served as the White House Press Secretary to U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Salinger served as a United States Senator in 1964 and was campaign manager for the 1968 Robert F. Kennedy presidential campaign. He later became known for his work as an ABC News correspondent, particularly for his coverage of the Iran Hostage Crisis; the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland; and his claims of a missile being the cause of the explosion of TWA flight 800. Salinger worked on Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1960, and became one of the leading figures in the campaign. He was at times described as being part of Kennedy's Kitchen Cabinet of unofficial advisers. In 1961, after JFK became President, he hired Salinger as his press secretary. When Kennedy became the first president to allow live television broadcasts of his news conferences, Salinger was said to have managed the press corps with "wit, enthusiasm and considerable disdain for detail,"[3] which made him a "celebrity in his own right." He accompanied Kennedy to conferences with other world leaders, including the 1961 meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna. When an aid to Khrushchev invited Salinger to Moscow, the president assented to his going. Kennedy, however, had to explain to the press corps why he was sending a young and inexperienced Salinger to the Soviet Union. More

Accompanied by more than five hundred photographs, this thorough and lucid narrative covers the critical national and international events of this troubled and still troubling decade. Paul Sann joined The New York Post as a copyboy in 1931 and stepped down in 1977 after 28 years as executive editor. Mr. Sann was one of New York's best-known newspapermen. Before becoming an editor, he earned recognition as a reporter for his colorful, punchy style. The topics he covered ran the gamut from the slaying of Dutch Schultz in a Newark tavern in 1935, when Mr. Sann was a fledgling police reporter, to the Presidential campaign of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, for which the journalist took time out from his duties as executive editor. In 1945, he became a Washington correspondent but was brought back the following year as assistant to the executive editor of The Home News, a Post publication then circulating in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. In 1949, the publisher of The Post, Dorothy Schiff, appointed James A. Wechsler as editor of the afternoon tabloid and named Mr. Sann executive editor, a position in which he functioned as a managing editor. He often wrote headlines and designed the front page, and wrote editorials in the absence of the editor and directed the Post's Sunday magazine. Mr. Sann resigned in January 1977 after Mrs. Schiff sold The Post to Rupert Murdoch, who brought in his own team of editors. More
