Using the Star Wars missile defense program as a magnifying glass on his presidency, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Frances FitzGerald gives us a wholly original portrait of Ronald Reagan. Drawing on extensive research, FitzGerald shows how Reagan managed to get billions in funding for a program that was technologically impossible by exploiting the fears of the American public. The Reagan who emerges from FitzGerald's book was a gifted politician with a deep understanding of the national psyche, and an executive almost totally disengaged from the policies of his administration. Both...

Four centuries later, Americans are still building Cities Upon a Hill.
In Cities on a Hill Pulitzer Prize-winner Frances FitzGerald explores this often eccentric, sometimes prophetic inclination in America.

Wars - especially civil wars - are among the most serious causes of human suffering and underdevelopment. Yet economic analysis of developing countries at war is relatively rare.

A major objective is to identify policies which may reduce the heavy human and economic costs. Volume one provides a general framework for the analysis, examines the political economy of countries at war, and provides an...
