President 283 Synopsis Dr. Wilbur Edel, the author of THE REAGAN PRESIDENCY, is Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Herbert H. Lehman College, The City University of New York. His carefully documented analysis of the Reagan presidency is based on the expressed opinions, actions and policies of President Reagan and his aides in the White House and in the executive departments and agencies under his jurisdiction. There are no anonymous sources, no "Deep Throats"; the record is public and the conclusions are those of the author. In his words: "In many ways Ronald Reagan surpassed all previous occupants of the White House in creating an image based on misrepresentation. his remarkable success in building that image is attested by his two overwhelming victories in the elections of 1980 and 1984. The fact that his shortcomings had been demonstrated during his two terms as governor of California went unmarked by a voting public that, as James Reston remarked, "did not elect" Ronald Reagan but "fell in love with him." The significance of the Reagan record in the presidential year 1992 lies in the fact that President Bush's domestic policies, in the words of Governor Lowell Weicker of Connecticut in his New York Times interview of December 15th, 1991, are "the mirror image of his predecessor, and that adds up to zero." Reagan as preacher, philosopher, economist, historian, rhetorician, educator, diplomat, and commander-in-chief, as the great communicator and president; these roles, and the others that he played, are meticulously and brilliantly analyzed in Wilbur Edel's fascinating biography. Author Edel, after analyzing the full record of the eight-year presidency of Ronald Reagan, calls him "the biggest fraud ever to occupy the White House." These are strong words, and the book backs them up to the hilt.<
