Detailed item info
Synopsis
Through this study of President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald dissects the special qualities that lead to Reagan's success with the American people. She sees him as aloof from his own administration and from Washington politics, yet skilled in sensing the mood of the American people and for articulating a path that was to eventually bring about the end of the Cold War. A New York Times Editors' Choice for 2000.

Publisher's Note
Frances FitzGerald has written the most surprising and insightful work on Reagan to date. She portrays him as a great politician and the greatest storyteller who ever held the office, but also as a man of no particular beliefs who presided over an often confused administration.

Industry reviews
"[S]hould make a significant contribution to the simmering argument...over the meaning and conduct of [Reagan's] presidency."
Hershberg 

"What is most striking about WAY OUT THERE IN THE BLUE is how clearly, eloquently and engagingly FitzGerald manages to describe a set of obscure and complicated events."
Brinkley 

"FitzGerald has assembled what could well become the definitive history of the Cold War's final arms race."
Plomer 

"[B]y far the most comprehensive and readable treatment of the Reagan Administration's approach to the Soviet Union yet written..."
Stossel 

"In telling this story, FitzGerald has accomplished an extraordinary intellectual feat..she has considered and analyzed a tremendous amount of confused and contradictory information....FitzGerald also gives as good an explanation as we may ever find about strategic nuclear theory..."
Nelson 

"...[O]ne is astonished by the scope of [FitzGerald's] excellent book and its relevance to the present controversy over the development and deployment of a U.S. national missile defense, which she takes up perceptively in a final chapter."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Richard L. Garwin (04/30/2000)
