The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order, 1964-1980, by Steven F. Hayward (Prima, 811 pp., $35)

The theme of this splendid work of history, the first of two volumes, is the corruption and at length the catastrophe of modern liberalism. It is also the story of the wilderness years of the man who eventually sacked the liberals' citadels, and composed their epitaph. The Age of Reagan opens in 1964, when Ronald Reagan was a faded actor who had recently been dumped by General Electric as its corporate spokesman. Hayward's book is less a chronicle of Reagan's rise over the next 16 years than a study of the conditions that made it possible.
