At their October 1986 meeting in Reykjavik, Ronald Reagan and
Mikhail Gorbachev agreed on the need to eliminate nuclear weapons.
That historic meeting ultimately led to the end of the cold war.
"Since that time, the nature of the nuclear threat in the world has
changed, but the twenty-year-old lessons of Reykjavik may well help
us achieve the goal of a modern world free of nuclear weapons,"
said former secretary of state George P. Shultz. Implications of
the Reykjavik Summit on Its Twentieth Anniversary: Conference
Report (Hoover Institution Press, 2007) contains essays drawn from
presentations at the 2006 Hoover Institution conference on the
legacy of the Reykjavik meeting. The contributors examine a range
of topics including the implications of the summit for current
nuclear arms control efforts, President Reagan's nuclear legacy,
and a key lesson learned at Reykjavik: the importance of
negotiating with enemies. Along with these insightful essays, the
book includes the declassified official transcript of the
discussions between Reagan and Gorbachev at Reykjavik as well as
official Soviet documents. The Soviet documents, now available in
the Hoover Archives, provide insight into Soviet preparations for
the summit, including key positions and an assessment of their
research and development with respect to nuclear weapons relative
to the United States. Taken as a whole, the contributions in this
collection reassert the vision of a world free of nuclear weapons
and underscore the need for new, practical measures to achieve that
goal.
