The Gipper Joins Dick Tracy!

The tone is satiric, never sarcastic. The artwork is tasteful, never exaggerated, even in this "Comic Strip" format. The beautifully written narrative carefully outlines the many "fumbles" of the guy whose image is associated with Football as much as The Presidency? Ultimately, the big question is, did his "Vision" outweigh all the dramatic, critical blunders, which cost lives; which cost the American people in ways far beyond galactic deficits and debt? Is the President primarily aa Visionary? Or the *most accountable* Public Servant? For those who feel that the book contains too many secondary mistakes of a great leader, I submit that they were kind in omitting plenty of stuff: his failed Immigartion Policy; 1986 Payroll Tax; his Military Budget increase on top of Carter's Military Budget increase; the Graham-Rudman "March To The Sea" on presumptive cost-effective, necessary programs; unnecessary tax breaks for the super rich who have 11 Accountants to brainstorm on the issue. George Will pointed out many years ago that his man gave us "93 months of growth". I say, based upon four trillion dollars worth of debt dropped at the front door of the "workin' man" that Reagan thought he was fighting for.

Nice Graphic Biography on Reagan

What makes this book fascinating is that it is an illustrated biography, with a comic strip format, and covers the span of Reagan's political career. The book is very clear and easy to follow. The details in the book are very educational. This would be a great book to use for High School students studing Government or History.
