“Five of the Best Presidential Biographies.” . Honored to have @economist.com recommend my Reagan book alongside other presidential biographies by Robert Caro, David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin and David Remnick—all writers I greatly admire.

If you have a Christmas Amazon gift card burning a hole in your pocket, might I recommend “Ronald Reagan: His Life and Legend”. At 880 pages, the book looks intimidating. But Boot is a skillful writer and I flew through the book in a couple of weeks.

RT @PostOpinions: Russia has a history of downing passenger planes — and covering it up, @maxboot writes.

This is another argument for even stricter sanctions on the Russian economy and even more support for Ukraine. Only by making Russia pay a high price for its violations of international law can the West dissuade Putin from further aggression.

The cover of “Reagan: His Life and Legend” has one small addition near the top.

Such accidents happen in wartime everywhere. But when civilized nations commit such offenses, they apologize and make reparations. They don’t refuse to admit what they did or try to blame someone else for their actions.

I enjoyed discussing “Reagan: His Life and Legend” with fellow biographer John Farrell. Hope you enjoy listening to it. Thanks to Biographers International for having me on the podcast!
