"In 1981 Ronald Reagan set out to change the very structure of American life by severely reducing the role of the federal government in everyday affairs. Gambling with History is a balanced, tough-minded, and highly informed evaluation of his progress toward that goal. . . . This is an eye-opening account of the people and policies that are shaping the course of the 1980s and deciding the stakes in Reagan's - and America's - gamble with history"  [from the back cover]
