Public outcry eventually convinced CBS to drop its biopic “The Reagans,” starring Barbra Streisand’s husband as a buffoonish, mean-spirited Ronald Reagan (it was run on Showtime instead). But the episode served as a reminder that the keepers of the culture—Hollywood, the mainstream media, and the academy—continue to have it in for Reagan. And while journalists and watchdogs like Matt Drudge and Brent Bozell did an admirable job in bringing the film’s biases to light, one cannot help but wish that the Great Communicator had been healthy enough to speak for himself. Thankfully, in recent years a number of books have been published that permit him to do precisely that, bringing together speeches, essays, and letters written by the former president. Each collection reveals a different facet of Reagan’s politics and character, untainted by Hollywood’s filter.
