Killing Reagan is the fifth book in the highly popular “Killing” series penned by Fox News contributor Bill O’Reilly, and collaborator Martin Dugard. As in the other “Killing” books, O’Reilly and Dugard crafted a sort of a mini-biography, culling snippets from the main character’s life, and wrapping them around the “killing” of the main character. Killing Reagan is different from its four predecessor books. The reason is that the main character, President Ronald Reagan, dies not in the hands of another individual or individuals, but because of natural causes.

Indeed, if not for sheer luck and the skilled and timely intervention of medical professionals, President Reagan may have been the third U.S. President to have been assassinated in office since the Civil war, and the fourth to die while in office during the same period. The assassination attempt by the schizophrenic John Hinckley took place almost 25 years before Reagan passed away. There is no indication that the attempt had anything to do with his death. At 94 years old, death can be ascribed to almost any condition, although Reagan was already suffering from Alzheimer’s for about 10 years until his death.

The assassination itself seems to be an afterthought, given the relatively lightweight nature of the would-be Reagan killer, Hinckley. Hinckley’s act, because it was unsuccessful, is almost an afterthought, especially if set against the backdrop of some of the fascinating events in Reagan’s life and presidency. Killing Reagan almost seems like a mini-biography of Ronald Reagan woven within the framework of a botched assassination attempt by a relatively uninteresting antagonist.

Given that there are at least ten full biographies of Reagan, including an autobiography released ten years after he left office, the “killing” angle appears to be a fresh one.

This book is for people who would like a distilled version of the significant amount of detail that the authors have managed to pack in some 250 pages. Where necessary, I have combined chapters to create a more coherent chronological narrative, rather than go on a confusing flashbacks and flash forwards for the sake of summarization. There are hundreds of names, places, and events spanning some 7 decades, and these are not always laid out in chronological order. I trust that you will find this summary useful and will stimulate you to read the full book or learn more about the fascinating characters in Killing Reagan.
