An incredible account of how the Cold War arms race finally came to a close. A Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative history of Reagan, Gorbachev and the final decade of the Cold War.

Hoffman draws on exclusive interviews in both Russia and the US, as well as classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, piecing together the first full - and intensely dramatic - account of how the US/Soviet arms race came to a close, and revealing the previously unheralded collection of scientists, soldiers, diplomats and spies that made it happen.
