Ronald Reagan's Cold War strategy, well established in his first
year in office, did not change: 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 twenty years after he left
office. 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.
