Since the Library of American Biography Series does not include footnotes or annotations, I have opted to document Ronald Reagan and the Triumph of American Conservatism online. The chapter links will take you to the notes for each chapter, which are organized on a page-by-page basis. Within each chapter the first mention of each source is linked to a citation to that book. The citations marked with question marks will be corrected shortly. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me at tygiel@sfsu.edu. --Jules Tygiel, Professor of History, San Francisco State University.
