The Crusader

di Paul Kengor (Autore)

Harper, 2009

God and Ronald Reagan established Paul Kengor as one of the premier authorities on the life and career of the 40th president. With The Crusader, Kengor uncovers a heretofore untold story: Reagan’s lifelong crusade against communism, and his dogged efforts to overthrow the Soviet Union. Kengor chronicles Reagan’s efforts to target communism, from his days as governor of California to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of what he famously dubbed the “Evil Empire.” Reagan not only wished for the collapse of communism, but understood what he needed to do to make that happen. Kengor discloses some astonishing information, including one key memo that implicates a major American liberal politician in a scheme to enlist Soviet premier Yuri Andropov to help defeat Reagan in his 1984 reelection bid. The Crusader is a real-life political thriller that sheds light on a previously little understood aspect of Reagan’s historic presidency. Paul Kengor is the author of the New York Times extended-list best-seller God and Ronald Reagan as well as God and George W. Bush and The Crusader. He is a professor of political science and director of the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College. He lives with his wife and children in Grove City, Pennsylvania.
