With Reagan

Ed Meese walks the reader through the 1980's touching upon a wide variety of topics including: the difficulties encountered in attempting to deal with an entrenched bureaucracy, the Washington press, and hostile Congress; the difficulty of slowing the growth of government; State Department resistance to Reagan's policies; Government by leaks and Reagan bashing; Congressional hypocrisy regarding President Carter's direct negotiations with the Iranian hostage takers as compared to President Reagan's third party approach; and much, much more.
