not a fan of the morris one, boringly enough-- the insights it purports to need the weird fictional armature for are the same insights everybody else manages without it (namely "this guy's kinda off, huh")
lou cannon's stuff on him is excellent
have not read garry wills' book but the reagan material in nixon agonistes is good (+ beautifully written)
still the sections of the invisible bridge about his childhood + hollywood are prob my fave stuff on the subject-- however not sure how conveniently they can be extricated from the interwoven narrative about every newspaper headline of the 1970s.
