Rawhide Down: The Near Assassination of Ronald Reagan
by Del Quentin Wilber
by Del Quentin Wilber
I thought Rawhide Down was a very interesting read and quite enjoyable. Rawhide is the nick-name given to President Reagan by the Secret Service.
Despite already knowing most of the events and the outcome of the March 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan, Rawhide Down offers new details and in depth information that surrounded that fateful day. The book is very precise and detailed and the part where the victims are brought into the hospital after the shooting is very graphic. Almost too graphic!
I was able to finish this book in about a week, which is pretty much a record for me. I am a slow reader and often get bored reading novels easily. I was never bores with this one though. No matter your political affiliation or if you were a big fan of Reagan or not, you should pick up this book!
