The Age of Reagan: A History, 1974-2008

The past thirty-five years have marked an era of conservatism. Although briefly interrupted in the late 1970s and temporarily reversed in the 1990s, a powerful surge from the right dominated American politics and government from 1974 to 2008. In The Age of Reagan, Sean Wilentz, one of our nation's leading historians, accounts for how a conservative movement once deemed marginal managed to seize power and hold it, and describes the momentous consequences that followed.

Vivid, authoritative, and illuminating from start to finish, The Age of Reagan is a groundbreaking chronicle of America's political history since the fall of Nixon.

About This Historical Analysis

This comprehensive historical account spans three decades of American political transformation, examining the conservative movement's rise to power following the Nixon administration. Wilentz provides detailed analysis of the political shifts that defined late 20th and early 21st century America, making this essential reading for students of American history, political science enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand contemporary conservative politics.

The book covers critical periods including the 1970s conservative resurgence, the Reagan presidency era of the 1980s, and the movement's continuation through the 1990s and into the 2000s. This historical examination offers insights into how marginal political movements can reshape national governance and policy for generations.
