WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE
The first full account of how
the Cold War arms race finally came to a close, this riveting narrative
history sheds new light on the people who struggled to end this era of
massive overkill, and examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons that remain a threat today.
Drawing on
memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and classified documents
from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman examines the inner
motives and secret decisions of each side and details the deadly
stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet Union collapsed. This
is the fascinating story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and a previously
unheralded collection of scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies
changed the course of history.
