On March 30, 1981, President Reagan walked out of a hotel in Washington, D.C. and was shot by a would-be assassin. For years, few people knew the truth about how close the president came to dying, and no one has ever written a detailed narrative of that harrowing day. Now, drawing on exclusive new interviews, Del Quentin Wilber tells the electrifying story of a moment when the nation teetered on the brink of chaos.
With cinematic clarity, we see the Secret Service agent whose fast reflexes saved the president’s life; the brilliant surgeon who operated on Reagan as he was losing half his blood; and the small group of White House officials frantically trying to determine whether the country was under attack. Most especially, we encounter the man code-named Rawhide, a leader of uncommon grace who inspired affection and awe in everyone who worked with him.
Reagan was the only serving U.S. president to survive being shot in an assassination attempt. In Rawhide Down, the story of that perilous day--a day of chaos, crisis, prayer, heroism and hope--is brought to life as never before.

Would you consider the audio edition of Rawhide Down to be better than the print version?
This reads very much like a fiction novel, though it is 100% historical. Consider this an apolitical collection of information about the attempted assassination of President Reagan - written in a riveting way that - if you enjoy this 'genre' as much as I - will become a definite re-listenAbsolutely Reccomended. History that comes alive!

However this is not what was reported by the media at the time. If you were alive when it actually happened you will remember a completely different story. I seem to remember that it was highly sugar coated.
This is the true story backed up at the very end by the interviews with some of the people who were involved on that day which could have had s more horrendous outcome. Thankfully it did not.
This will go down as one of my top 50 favorite books of all time.
Adored this book from first word to the very last.
