About this ebook
From the bestselling team of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard comes Killing Reagan, a page-turning epic account of the career of President Ronald Reagan that tells the vivid story of his rise to power--and the forces of evil that conspired to bring him down.
The basis for the 2016 television movie available on streaming.
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 the 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. In Killing Reagan, O'Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the scenes, creating an unforgettable portrait of a great man operating in violent times.

Bill O'Reilly doesn't actually write his own books he hires a ghost writer. I read it not being a fan of his. Bill O'Reilly makes fictitious claims without any evidence. He also lies about research done within the book. I would say that if you wanted to learn about Reagan, you might want to steer clear.

What a disappointment!!! If I wanted to read rumors and innuendoes, I would buy a MOVIE magazine. I realize that even very public people have private lives and pasts but this was amateur hour! Shame on you Bill O"Reilly. A waste of my money and a slap in the face to a GREAT man! annie

I have read all of the books and I will continue to read them, but for some reason this book didn't really capture my attention. It was really boring, and dry.
