I have Reaganland by Rick Perlstein on my list to read.
I just read Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson. Reagan is briefly discussed in it, and it was overall very interesting.

Antidemocratic by David Daley
It’s not directly about Reagan, but it is about a 50 year plot to subvert voting rights that began around the Reagan years… this book truly had me RAGING
RiffsYeaRight on
Really check out the 4 books by Rick Perlstein.
Before the storm, nixonland, the invisible bridge, and Reaganland.
It chronicles how we got here and its wonderful.

This is about how we got to now from the 90s but Partisans by Nicole Hemmer

A slightly broader picture is the recent book *Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order*. It has Reagan within the larger context from FDR to Trump.

My brother recommended the blue and the red by kornacki, i don’t think they talk too much about reagan but it explains the modern tribalism of political parties

Not specifically about Reagan but a broader look at neoliberalism and the murder of the middle class is The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez has a whole section on Regan.
FreedomForBreakfast on
I haven’t read it but I did this deep dive a while back and put this on my list:
