Written in 1999 by Edmund Morris, Dutch is a biography of the fortieth President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Though Morris wrote the book alongside Reagan, readers often note how it does not necessarily relate much to the actual term of the president, and incorporates much of Morris' personal life story into it. Dutch was published just after Morris had attained wild success from his Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt.
Edmund Morris is a British and American writer. He is most well known for his biographies of the presidents, but he has received much scrutiny over Dutch, which people believe should not be considered a biography because of its inclusion of fictional character. Morris was the first person to receive authorization to write a biography of the sitting president of the time, Ronald Reagan. Morris currently writes for newspapers like The New York Times and The New Yorker.
