A long-time U.S. policy insider’s scholarly and encyclopedic history with unprecedented analysis of the official documents of the Cold War explores its Marxist-Leninist totalitarian roots, faltering pre-Reagan U.S. strategies of Containment, MAD, and Détente, and the Reagan Revolution. This book details Reagan’s integrated new strategies in defense, arms control, diplomacy, information and intelligence, and support for the faiths and forces of freedom that collapsed the Soviet ideology and empire.
This scholarly history casts critical new light on the Cold War’s larger historical context, ideological roots, diplomatic and defense strategies, and strategic turning points. The author’s analysis brings valuable insights on today’s conflicts between the faiths and forces of peace and freedom and those of totalitarians in an age of weapons of mass terror and destruction.
