James G. Benze, Jr., has previously written about Nancy Reagan in the volume American First Ladies. He is professor of political science at Washington and Jefferson College and author of Presidential Management and Presidential Power.
"Alternately described as manipulative and caring, Nancy Reagan was
an enigmatic first lady. Benze provides a richly detailed and
unvarnished portrait of the former actress, who considered her role
as Ronald Reagan's wife her most satisfying and important
challenge."--Myra G. Gutin, author of The President's Partner: The
First Lady in the Twentieth Century"Captures the drama and turmoil
of the Reagans' public life and tensions in their private lives,
both tempered by Nancy Reagan's fierce loyalty and deep love for
her husband."--Donald T. Critchlow, author of Phyllis Schlafly and
Grassroots Conservatism: A Woman's Crusade"Anybody who wants to
know more about this important and, at times, controversial First
Lady should 'just say yes' to this engaging book."--Chester J.
Pach, author of The Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Offers a useful perspective of the Reagan years from the vantage
point of the East Wing of the White House."--Choice
