Why people recommend it
Landslide by Jane Mayer is a work of political journalism examining the Reagan administration, power struggles within the White House, and major political scandals of the era. Robert Evans recommended Landslide on Behind the Bastards, calling it a really wonderful book by his favorite journalist about the Reagan administration during that specific period. Evans brought up the book while discussing the inner workings of the administration and the various figures competing for the president’s attention. In a preceding episode of the podcast, Evans also cited Landslide directly to illustrate historical events. He read a passage co-authored by Jane Mayer and Doyle McManus, which stated that Oliver North's five years at the National Security Council were composed of manic days, weekends spent at his desk, and vacations left untaken. Through these references, Evans utilized Mayer's reporting to provide listeners with a detailed, well-researched perspective on the intense political climate, internal conflicts, and notable personalities driving key foreign policy initiatives and administrative decisions during the Reagan presidency.
