In \u003ci\u003eThe Reagan Reversal,\u003c\/i\u003e now available in paperback, Beth A. Fischer convincingly demonstrates that President Reagan actually began seeking a rapprochement with the Kremlin fifteen months \u003ci\u003ebefore\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49681403281648,"sku":"NEW0826211380","price":88.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-reagan-reversal-foreign-policy-and-the-end-of-the-cold-war","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
