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.
