Acknowledgements

While this book is a work of fiction, all quotations attributed to Ronald Reagan are his own, with a few slight modifications to make them fit the narrative. The same goes for the quotations from all other candidates, including those of President Obama. Outside of the quoted material, events are fictionalized according to my predictions, based on past events and future conditions.

I need to give a big shout-out to Craig Shirley, whose remarkable account of Reagan’s 1980 campaign, Rendezvous with Destiny: Ronald Reagan and the Campaign That Changed America (Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2009), was integral in the planning of the book. The narrative of the 1980 Reagan-Carter campaign provided an outline for the Reagan-Obama 2012 campaign.
