Join the roomDutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan is a 1999 biography by Edmund Morris recounting the life of United States president Ronald Reagan. Although it was conceived as the first authorized biography of an incumbent U.S. president, Morris instead wrote from the perspective of a fictional lifelong friend of Reagan, and the book has been characterized as a semi-biographical novel. Upon its publication by Random House, Dutch faced immediate controversy, as critics disagreed with Morris's use of fictional elements within an ostensibly biographical work which Reagan and his family had trusted Morris to write factually.
