What is The End of the Cold War: 1985-1991 about?

The Dismantling Of The Berlin Wall In 1989 And The Spread Of Perestroika Throughout The Former Soviet Bloc Was A Sea Change In World History And Two Years Later Resulted In The Dissolution Of The Soviet Union. In The End Of The Cold War, Acclaimed Russian Historian Robert Service Examines Precisely How That Change Came About. Drawing On A Vast And Largely Untapped Range Of Sources, He Builds A Picture Of The Two Men Who Spearheaded The Breakthrough: Ronald Reagan, President Of The United States, And Mikhail Gorbachev, Last General Secretary Of The Soviet Union And First And Last President Of The Ussr. He Also Analyses The Role Of Influential Players Not Only In America And The Ussr, But Throughout Eastern And Western Europe, And Focuses Especially On Pope John Paul Ii, Lech Watesa And Vaclav Havel. Authoritative, Compelling And Meticulously Researched, This Is Political History At Its Best. Introduction -- Ronald Reagan -- Plans For Armageddon -- The Reaganauts -- The American Challenge -- Symptoms Recognized, Cures Rejected -- Cracks In The Ice : Eastern Europe -- The Soviet Quarantine -- Nato And Its Friends -- World Communism And The Peace Movement -- In The Soviet Waiting Room
