Title: The Sin Of Hubris
Product review: The chief job of the historian is to remain distant from his subject so that, at the very least, a semblance of objectivity can remain. True objectivity is of course a myth, but a good historian will at least make the effort to avoid emotional involvement with his subject.Morris doesn't even try to be objective, and in fact became so close to his subject that he inserts himself into the text as a major player. The historian is the observer, the recorder, and the chronologer, not the participant. Morris blew it. If you insist on buying this book, stick it on your self next to Dinesh D'Souza's tome and other bad hagiographies of Reagan.
