Conservatives in Power: The Reagan Years, 1981-1989 by Meg Jacobs PDF Summary

Book Description: Ronald Reagans election to the presidency in 1980 marked a victory for conservatism. But, as Meg Jacobs and Julian Zelizer point out in their introduction, once in power, conservatives discovered that implementing their agenda and reversing the liberalism entrenched in American government would not be as easy as they had hoped. In this collection, Jacobs and Zelizer explore the successes and limitations of the so-called Reagan Revolution and chronicle its legacy through subsequent presidencies up to Barack Obamas election in 2008. More than 60 thematically organized documents -- some recently released -- illuminate conservatives efforts to shift American politics to the right. These materials -- including speeches, memos, and articles from the popular press -- explore Reagans personal evolution as a conservative leader, as well as Reaganomics, tax cuts, anticommunism, the arms race, the culture wars, and scandals such as Iran Contra. Photographs, document headnotes, a chronology, selected bibliography, and questions for consideration provide pedagogical support.
