George Pataki, 53rd Governor of the State of New York, was one of the longest-serving governors in the state’s history. First elected in 1994, he was reelected in 1998 and 2002, leaving office in 2006.
An advocate for small government, tax cuts, and the death penalty, he also prioritized the environment and open space preservation, protecting more than one million acres of wildland and farmland, and championing renewable energy and environmental conservation policies.
Max Boot is the author of the new biography, Reagan: His Life and Legend (2024), named a Best Book of the Year in the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and The Economist.
General David Petraeus said, “This is the definitive Reagan biography that so many of us have been waiting for.” Son of the Midwest, movie star, and mesmerizing politician ― America’s 40th president comes to three-dimensional life in this gripping and profoundly revisionist biography.
An historian and foreign-policy analyst, Boot is the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow for national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a columnist for the Washington Post.
