Review :
Gripping... Oberdorfer's detailed, balanced account describes the policies and personalities that actually changed history. -- Robert Hutchings Journal of Cold War Studies An excellent, balanced account of the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States during the years of the Reagan and Bush administrations... It provides an informative discussion of the demise of the Cold War and belongs among the shelves of anyone interested in that topic. -- Donald L. Zelman H-Pol, H-NET Reviews A reliable source of raw data for those interested in studying these important episodes in world politics from a variety of perspectives. -- Benjamin E. Goldsmith Peace and Conflict A highly readable and utterly persuasive account of why the Cold War came to end the way it did. -- Fred Barnes American Spectator
