Cold War Endgame is the product of an unusual collaborative
effort by policy makers and scholars to promote better
understanding of how the Cold War ended. It includes the transcript
of a conference, hosted by former Secretary of State James Baker
and former Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh, in which
high-level veterans of the Bush and Gorbachev governments shared
their recollections and interpretations of the crucial events of
1989-91: the revolutions in Eastern Europe; the reunification of
Germany; the Persian Gulf War; the August 1991 coup; and the
collapse of the USSR.
Taking this testimony as a common reference and drawing on the
most recent evidence available, six chapters follow in which
historians and political scientists explore the historical and
theoretical puzzles presented by this extraordinary transition.
This discussion features a debate over the relative importance of
ideas, personality, and economic pressures in explaining the Cold
War's end.
