The Reykjavik summit, which took place on October 11-12 1986, nearly brought an end to nuclear confrontation between East and West.
As suspenseful as a thriller, this essay delves into the last years of the Cold War. It recounts the preparation of this meeting, which may have changed the world. It follows Reagan in the White House, Gorbachev in the Kremlin, and, finally, both men clashing inside Reykjavik’s Hofdi House on that fateful week end. It tells a lot about the era, the political climate, and the strengths and weaknesses of Reagan as a leader.
The author has interviewed many key figures (George Shultz, John Poindexter, Pat Buchanan, Pavel Palazchenko, Roald Sagdeev) including Mikhail Gorbachev, whom the author met in Moscow.
