THERE WERE FIRST LADIES, AND THEN THERE WAS NANCY REAGAN...
The most talked-about book in recent memory, Kittly Kelley's NANCY REGAN: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, made front-page headlines nationwide. Rarely has the American public had so much to learn about someone we thought we knew so well.

Bestselling author Kitty Kelley offers a shrewd, psychologically perceptive and eye-opening portrait of the woman who stood--for more than eight years--at the power center of American life. Through more than 1,000 interviews collected during four years of exhaustive research and reporting, Kitty Kelley reveals Nancy Reagan as a superb public performer; a vain, materialistic social climber; a bitter foe and formidable strategist--an American phenomenon.

Tracking Nancy Reagan's rise from Smith College coed to Hollywood starlet to governor's wife and finally to First Lady, Kelly shows how this clever, ambitious woman created the two most spectacular careers in modern politics: her husband's and her own.
