This book explores the underside of the Reagan Presidency. The surprise is not that Reagan was not in control of underlings like Oliver North, but that he was so out of touch that incoming Chief of Staff Howard Baker actually considered whether the constitutional provision for removing an incapacitated President might have to be invoked! Mayer and McManus write with the sharp eye of crack investigative reporters. While the results may not be as compelling as "All the President s Men," they still present an unsettling account of what goes on in the corridors of power.
