It was 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 20 years after he left office. But 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."--Provided by publisher. 000718353 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000718353 60010 $$aReagan, Ronald. 000718353 650_0 $$aNuclear arms control$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000718353 650_0 $$aNuclear arms control$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000718353 650_0 $$aCold War. 000718353 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y1981-1989. 000718353 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zSoviet Union. 000718353 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States. 000718353 7001_ $$aAnderson, Annelise,$$eauthor. 000718353 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAnderson, Martin.$$tRonald Reagan.$$dStanford, California : Hoover Institution Press, [2015]$$z9780817918347$$w(OCoLC)905906844 000718353 830_0 $$aHoover Institution Press publication ;$$v657. 000718353 8520_ $$bacq 000718353 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000718353 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1985412$$zOnline Access 000718353 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718353$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718353 980__ $$aEBOOK 000718353 980__ $$aBIB 000718353 982__ $$aEbook 000718353 983__ $$aOnline
