Summary

A shocking portrait of the 1980s, of America, and of the woman whose position helped shape the values and policies of the Reagan administration. Through over 1,000 interviews collected during four years of exhaustive research and reporting, Kelley reveals Nancy Reagan as a superb public performer; a vain, materialistic social climber; a bitter foe; and formidable strategist - an American phenomenon.

Better narration than The Royals by a mile.

I read this title in printed form when it was first published many moons ago and I enjoyed it very much. Nancy Reagan seemed a devious and very unlikeable person, and even from a very young age, she seems to have been determined for everything to go according to her plan and be damned everyone else. In a nutshell if you couldn't help the Reagan cause, you were of no use to her whatsoever, even family members. And interestingly only people with very inflated bank balances became "friends". Her husband is portrayed as a very weak man and clearly he would never have made it to The White House without Nancy's "help".
Having decided to purchase the audible version, I still very much enjoyed the book, however, I do wish that the publisher would check the narration for the correct pronunciation of the British version of English when mentioning anything pertaining to Britain. In the case of KK's The Royals, I couldn't continue as the narrator of that book was positively dire. Recommended.
