Every word Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev said to each other in their five superpower summits from 1985 to 1988 is included in this volume. The editors argue in their contextual essays and detailed notes that these summits fueled a learning process on both sides of the Cold War. Their anthology provides insight into the nuanced shifts of monumentally important discussions, showing how Moscow’s sense of threat was eased and how a hawkish Reagan softened his tone in negotiations during his second presidential term. Documents from foreign ministers Eduard Shevardnadze and George Shultz offer a particularly intriguing look into the handful of conversations that ended almost half a century of conflict. These verbatim transcripts, until now top secret, are combined with fascinating photos and crucial information from declassified preparatory and after-action documents from both the Americans and Soviets, obtained in the US through the Freedom of Information Act and in Russia from the Gorbachev Foundation, the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and from the personal files of Anatoly Chernyaev, Gorbachev’s foreign policy adviser" -- |cPublisher. 505 00 |gCh. 1. |tThe Geneva summit, 1985 -- |gCh. 2. |tThe Reykjavik summit, 1986 -- |gCh. 3. |tThe Washington summit, 1987 -- |gCh 4. |tThe Moscow summit, 1988 -- |gCh. 5. |tThe Governors Island summit, 1988. 600 10 Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeevich, |d1931-2022. 600 10 Reagan, Ronald. 600 17 Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeevich, |d1931-2022. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00147255 600 17 Reagan, Ronald. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00036392 651 0 United States |xForeign relations |zSoviet Union |vSources. 651 0 Soviet Union |xForeign relations |zUnited States |vSources. 650 0 Cold War |xDiplomatic history |vSources. 650 0 Summit meetings |xHistory |y20th century |vSources. 650 7 Diplomacy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00894188 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Summit meetings. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01138541 651 7 Soviet Union. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210281 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 647 7 Cold War |d(1945-1989) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01754978 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Sources. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423900 700 1 Savranskaya, Svetlana, |eeditor. 700 1 Blanton, Thomas S., |eeditor. 700 1 Melyakova, Anna, |eeditorial assistant. 830 0 National Security Archive Cold War readers 910 |cF1303mon 914 (OCoLC)on1103504050 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1103504050 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fTFK |m311099 |nPaper 980 |i45.00 982 |cf 984 20210209 |b141341
