Ronald Reagan - Appreciated the Power of Ideas
http://newbooksinhistory.com/?p=649
I found this 60 minute mp3 interview on the "New Books in History" website giving a very different view of Ronald Reagan than you usually hear. The author, James Mann, makes a good case that Reagan appreciated the power of ideas and so thought the Cold War could be won. He also argued that Reagan was motivated by his hate for nuclear weapons.
This site is a good arguement for the importance of history. - Greg
