He reveals previously undisclosed secret messages between Reagan and Moscow; internal White House intrigues; and battles with leading figures such as Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who repeatedly questioned Reagan's unfolding diplomacy with Mikhail Gorbachev. He details the background and fierce debate over Reagan's famous Berlin Wall speech and shows how it fit into Reagan's policies. Ultimately, Mann dispels the facile stereotypes of Reagan in favor of a levelheaded, cogent understanding of a determined president and his strategy.This book finally answers the troubling questions about Reagan's actual role in the crumbling of Soviet power. Mann concludes that by recognizing the significance of Gorbachev, Reagan helped bring the Cold War to a close. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Reagan, Ronald|xPolitical and social views. 600 10 Nixon, Richard M.|q(Richard Milhous),|d1913-1994 |xInfluence. 600 10 Massie, Suzanne|xInfluence. 600 10 Reagan, Ronald|xOratory. 650 0 Cold War. 650 0 Political leadership|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|vBiography. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y1981-1989. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|zSoviet Union. 651 0 Soviet Union|xForeign relations|zUnited States. 700 1 Sklar, Alan. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10756235?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400190621_180.jpeg
