Killing Reagan: The Violent Assault That Changed a Presidency (Bill O'Reilly's Killing)

From the team of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, bestselling authors of the blockbusterKilling series, now comes Killing Reagan. This captivating epic account of the career of President Ronald Reagan tells the vivid story of his rise to power -- and the forces of evil that conspired to bring him down.

Just two months into his presidency, Ronald Reagan lay near death after a gunman's bullet came within inches of his heart. His recovery was nothing short of remarkable -- or so it seemed. But Reagan was grievously injured, forcing him to encounter a challenge that few men ever face. Could he silently overcome his traumatic experience while at the same time carrying out the duties of the most powerful man in the world?

Told in the same riveting fashion as Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy,Killing Jesus, and Killing Patton, Killing Reagan reaches back to the golden days of Hollywood, where Reagan found both fame and heartbreak, up through the years in California governor's mansion, and finally to the White House, where he presided over boom years and the fall of the Iron Curtain. But it was John Hinckley Jr.'s attack on him that precipitated President Reagan's most heroic actions. InKilling Reagan, O'Reilly and Dugard take listeners behind the scenes, creating an unforgettable portrait of a great man operating in violent times.
