Reagan

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), the 40th president of the United States, was considered by public opinion polls as one of the most authoritative state figures in the country's history. He was the initiator of important economic and social reforms that led to the United States emerging from a prolonged economic stagnation, encouraged entrepreneurial activities of small and large businesses, improved the tax system, and positively influenced changes in the socio-cultural sphere. Many of his political ideas were controversial: he sincerely aimed for nuclear disarmament, which did not prevent him from announcing the Strategic Defense Initiative, which was regarded not only in international circles but also in the U.S. as a 'Star Wars' program; he took significant steps to end the Cold War while also seeking to exert pressure on the Soviet Union. His administration was involved in the high-profile political scandal 'Iran-Contra'.

The book presented to the reader aims to objectively and comprehensively illuminate the life and political path of a prominent American statesman based on primary documentary sources, primarily from the archives of the United States.
