Üüratu kogus materjali, millest autor ennast läbi on närinud ja terve plejaad kodanikke, kellega vestelnud. Tõeliselt põhjalik kokkuvõte sellest, kui tähtis oli kogu Külma sõja lõppemisel just relvastuskontrolli kõnelused, kangekaelne Reagan ja NSV Liidu kokkukukkuv majandus. Ei sobi lugemiseks voodis, tahab ära lämmatada, kui hetkeks tukastad. ( ) Very flattering depiction of Reagan as holding a hard line on the Soviets while always being willing to negotiate if the Soviets made the right concessions on human rights and accepting Star Wars. Meanwhile, Gorbachev, understanding the USSR’s increasingly desperate economic circumstances, was forced to the negotiating table so he could stop spending so much on defense. However, if you read carefully, Reagan kind of went with the last person he talked with—so when George Schultz was the last person, he was more willing to negotiate, and when Cap Weinberger was the last person, he was a hawk. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

On 26 December 1991, the hammer-and-sickle flag was lowered over the Kremlin for the last time. Just six years earlier, when Mikhail Gorbachev became general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and chose Eduard Shevardnadze as his foreign minister, the Cold War had seemed like a permanent fixture in world politics. Until its denouement, no Western or Soviet politician foresaw that the standoff between the two superpowers--after decades of struggle over every aspect of security, politics, economics, and ideas--would end within the lifetime of the current generation. Nor was it at all obvious that the Soviet political leadership would undertake a huge internal reform of the USSR, or that the threat of a nuclear Armageddon could be peacefully wound down. Drawing on pioneering archival research, Robert Service's investigation of the final years of the Cold War pinpoints the extraordinary relationships between Ronald Reagan, Gorbachev, George Shultz, and Shevardnadze, who found ways to cooperate during times of exceptional change around the world--
"A British historian and author investigates the final years of the Cold War from both sides of the Iron Curtain, discussing the relationship between Reagan and Gorbachev whose unprecedented, historic cooperation worked against the odds to end the arms race."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
