It is often assumed that Ronald Reagan's administration was reactive in bringing about the end of the cold war, that it was Mikhail Gorbachev's "new thinking" and congenial personality that led the administration to abandon its hard- line approach toward Moscow. In The Reagan Reversal, now available in paperback, Beth A. Fischer convincingly demonstrates that President Reagan actually began seeking a rapprochement with the Kremlin fifteen months before Gorbachev took office. She shows that Reagan, known for his long-standing antipathy toward communism, suddenly began calling for "dialogue, cooperation, and understanding" between the superpowers. This well-written and concise study challenges the conventional wisdom about the president himself and reveals that Reagan was, at times, the driving force behind United States-Soviet policy.

Store description
The Enigmatic Reader is the unexpected outcome of years of book collecting. After filling up the house to an extreme, (the attic was on the brink of collapse) we decided we had no choice but to share the riches. Luckily about this time the internet became a great place to connect book-buyers with book-sellers. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to connect people with the books they are looking for. Let us know your interests and we will try to find a book to match them. If you find a book on our list that you really want but you can't afford it, let us know - maybe we can work something out. Our descriptions are not too detailed, but we do try to describe the basics and point out any major flaws.…
