|  | Dutch by Edmund Morris
For purposes of telling Ronald Reagan's life story, Edmund Morris has created a fictional persona, based on himself, whose many encounters throughout Reagan's life provide a narrative thread and yield insights and comments by and about his subject. This biography is based on the privileged access granted to Morris as Reagan's official biographer, including his presence behind the scenes and at official duties, and on his many conversations with the President and others. Morris tells of Reagan's boyhood and schooling, his success in Hollywood, and his marriages and family life. He reviews his public life as a spokesperson for conservatism, as governor of California, and as President of the United States. Morris is known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography THE RISE OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT. AUTHOR: Edmund Morris
