Publisher, Random House Audiobooks (September 1999)

Received the coveted "AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD" (June/July 2000) for exceptional narrative voice and style, vocal characterizations, appropriateness for audio format and enhancement of the text!

Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times says:
Morris' inventions lend at least the first half of Dutch a faint air of make-believe, which seems entirely fitting for Reagan's rise to prominence....One might of course dismiss Morris' technique as committing the fallacy of imitative form, matching an artificial narrative with an inauthentic subject. But some would argue that Reagan's rise to fame was the contradiction of that fallacy....Couldn't all this have been accomplished without Morris' narrative abracadabra? Perhaps, but I can think of few conventional political biographies that bring their subjects' pasts so richly alive.

Random House Audiobooks says:
Transcending the conventional bounds of biography, Edmund Morris brings Ronald Reagan, the statesman, to life, revealing him to be a complex, highly imaginative personality. Certain to inform, engross, and even astonish those who believe they already know Reagan--as well as those who do not know him at all--Dutch is based on the most rigorous scholarship and is massive in its depth and scope.
