POR QUÉ SE UNEN A NOSOTROS

La nueva biografía de Ronald Reagan, escrita por Max Boot, no podría llegar en mejor momento. El elogiado libro, nombrado uno de los 10 mejores libros de 2024 por The New York Times, ofrece un apasionante retrato del afable aunque a menudo opaco 40º Presidente de los Estados Unidos, al tiempo que ilumina las corrientes ideológicas que nos han traído hasta hoy. De Reagan: su vida y su leyenda se sale con una profunda comprensión del tirón emocional de la nostalgia en la psique estadounidense y una profunda admiración por las dotes narrativas de un biógrafo soberbio y ecuánime.
