Why people recommend it
Dutch by Edmund Morris is a massive, highly unconventional biographical work that explores the life and political career of the fortieth United States president, Ronald Reagan. The book was a frequent topic of conversation among literary critics and historians on The Book Review, where host Gilbert Cruz and guests like David Oshinsky and Jeff Shesol discussed its release in the late 1990s. Oshinsky recalled how Morris had previously written an acclaimed, Pulitzer Prize-winning trilogy about Theodore Roosevelt before tackling the much more controversial biography of Reagan. The participants reflected on the considerable passage of time since the publication of major biographical treatments of Reagan, frequently returning to Morris's volume as a key touchstone in presidential literature. They noted the unique structural and narrative choices Morris made in crafting the portrait, marking the title as a prominent and heavily debated entry in the canon of American political biographies.
