DESCRIPTION:
(from History's press release, March 2017) In the wake of economic decline and international tumult, a former actor and California governor named Ronald Reagan shook up the political world when he did the unthinkable, running against sitting Republican President Gerald Ford in a campaign that would ultimately ignite the "Reagan Revolution." As President, Reagan redefined the Republican Party and shaped the course of American conservatism. "Rise of Reagan" is an A+E Studios production and based on "The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan," by Rick Perlstein, who serves as consultant. Bill Haber ("Rizzoli & Isles") is on board to executive produce and it is written by Cyrus Nowrasteh, author of "The Day Reagan was Shot."
