Sobre IBD

Lights. Camera. PoliticsBefore Ronald Reagan became 'the Great Communicator,' he was a Hollywood actor who mastered the art of storytelling - and he carried that skill straight into the White House. Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States.From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror - and a weapon - for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth.Inside this groundbreaking book:That ’80s Show! - How pop culture and politics fused into one seamless performance.The Image President - How Reagan used cinematic language to control public perception.Hollywood’s Cold War - Movies as moral battlegrounds for American virtue versus Soviet villainy.Television Nation - The rise of nostalgia, family values, and the American Dream on screen.The Legacy Reel - How Reagan’s Hollywood still shapes today’s political storytelling.Rich with cultural analysis, cinematic insight, and political commentary, Reagan’s Hollywood America is an essential listen for readers who love history, film, and the art of persuasion.Whether you’re a student of politics, a lover of classic cinema, or fascinated by how image became power, this book pulls back the curtain on an era when the American Dream was scripted, directed, and broadcast worldwide.
