Ronald Reagan's Cold War strategy was well established in his first
year in office and did not change throughout his presidency. It was
to make absolutely sure in the minds of the Soviets that they too
would be destroyed in a nuclear war - even as Reagan sought an
alternative through strategic defense to make nuclear missiles
obsolete and thus eliminate the possibility of an all-out nuclear
war. This book offers new perspectives on Ronald Reagan's primary
accomplishment as president - persuading the Soviets to reduce
their nuclear arsenals and end the Cold War. It details how he
achieved this success and in the process explains why Americans
consider Reagan one of our greatest presidents. The authors examine
the decisions Reagan made during his presidency that made his
success possible and review Reagan's critical negotiations with
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev ending with the 1988 Moscow Summit
that effectively ended the Cold War. They present Gorbachev's
thoughts on Reagan as a great man and a great president 20 years
after he left office. But ultimately, they reveal the depth of
Reagan's vision of a world safe from nuclear weapons, painting a
clear portrait of a Cold Warrior who saw the possibility of moving
beyond that war.
