In the Reagan-Gorbachev era, the United States and the Soviet
Union came within minutes of nuclear war, until Gorbachev boldly
launched a campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons, setting the
stage for the 1986 Reykjavik summit and the incredible events
that followed. In this thrilling, authoritative narrative,
Richard Rhodes draws on personal interviews with both Soviet and
U.S. participants and a wealth of new documentation to unravel
the compelling, shocking story behind this monumental time in
human history—its beginnings, its nearly chilling consequences,
and its effects on global politics today.
