About this ebook
This is a Summary of Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard’s Killing Reagan The Violent Assault That Changed a Presidency
From the bestselling team of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard comes Killing Reagan, a page-turning epic account of the career of President Ronald Reagan that tells the vivid story of his rise to power -- and the forces of evil that conspired to bring him down.
Just two months into his presidency, Ronald Reagan lay near death after a gunman's bullet came within inches of his heart. His recovery was nothing short of remarkable -- or so it seemed. But Reagan was grievously injured, forcing him to encounter a challenge that few men ever face. Could he silently overcome his traumatic experience while at the same time carrying out the duties of the most powerful man in the world?
Told in the same riveting fashion as Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing Patton, Killing Reagan reaches back to the golden days of Hollywood, where Reagan found both fame and heartbreak, up through the years in the California governor's mansion, and finally to the White House, where he presided over boom years and the fall of the Iron Curtain. But it was John Hinckley Jr.'s attack on him that precipitated President Reagan's most heroic actions. In Killing Reagan, O'Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the scenes, creating an unforgettable portrait of a great man operating in violent times.

Introduction
This is a summary of the fifth book in the Killing
series as written by Bill O’Reilly and his partner, Martin Dugard. The other killing books feature the deaths of Lincoln, Kennedy, Jesus and Patton. This book has a semblance with what you will find in other books in the series. The authors came out with a small biography on the life and times of Ronald Reagan, with very important snippets that are significant to the killing of the protagonist in the book. It is good to note that there are clear cut differences between Killing Reagan and other books that came out before this one. This is mainly because it is not by the bullet of an assassin that killed the president, rather, the president dies of natural causes when he was 94 years old.
It is only grace and the intervention of skilled medical professionals at the right time that saved President Reagan from being the third President of the United States to be killed in office since after the Civil War. This would also have made him the fourth president to die in active service. However, the attempt to assassinate him was by John Hinckley who suffered from schizophrenia, but Reagan lived another 25 years before he died. This assassination attempt, however, has not been directly linked to his death. It is possible to find many conditions that caused his death, since he lived until he was 94 years old and suffered with Alzheimer’s for 10 years prior to his death
The insignificant nature of the personality of Hinckley, who made the attempt on the president, presents the assassination attempt as an afterthought. The failure of this act makes it an afterthought when you consider that the president lived through many fascinating events during his life when he was president. This made Killing Reagan a seeming abridged biography of the president, wrapped around an attempt to assassinate him by a very insignificant antagonist.
Because there are about 10 complete biographies of Ronald Reagan coupled with the autobiography he released after his tenure as president, the issue of the Killing becomes another angle unknown to the populace.
This summary of Killing Reagan is aimed for those who are interested in getting the details as compiled by these authors. To make the narrative more chronological and coherent, and for easy understanding, I have combined some characters, when needed, in the book. This is against flash forwards and flashbacks that tend to be confusing. You will experience events, names and places in the hundreds through seven decades, and they are not listed chronologically. It is my utmost belief that this summary will help you in your desire to go in search of the full book or the facts about the players in Killing Reagan.
