Towards the end of the Cold War, the last great struggle between
the United States and the Soviet Union marked the end of detente,
and escalated into the most dangerous phase of the conflict since
the Cuban Missile Crisis. Aaron Donaghy examines the complex
history of America's largest peacetime military buildup, which was
in turn challenged by the largest peacetime peace movement.
Focusing on the critical period between 1977 and 1985, Donaghy
shows how domestic politics shaped dramatic foreign policy
reversals by Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. He explains
why the Cold War intensified so quickly and how - contrary to all
expectations - US-Soviet relations were repaired. Drawing on
recently declassified archival material, The Second Cold War traces
how each administration evolved in response to crises and events at
home and abroad. This compelling and controversial account
challenges the accepted notion of how the end of the Cold War
began.
