O knihe
For decades, the Cold War seemed to be completely entrenched and no Western or Soviet politician could have foreseen that the stand-off between the two superpowers - after years of struggle over every aspect of security, politics, economics and ideas - would end in their lifetime. Drawing on pioneering archival research, Robert Service's gripping new investigation of the final years of the Cold War pinpoints how the astonishing relationships between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachëv and between the US Secretary of State, George Shultz, and the USSR's last Foreign Affairs Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, led to an extraordinary denouement. A story of American pressure and Soviet long-term decline and over-stretch, The End of the Cold War shows how that small, skilful group of statesmen were determined to end the Cold War on their watch - and how they succeeded. In the process, they irreversibly transformed the global geopolitical landscape. Authoritative, compelling and meticulously researched, this is political history at its best.
'A magisterial account of a turning point in modern history, whose intellectual rigour and robustness make it unlikely to be bettered' Sherard Cowper-Coles, Spectator
'Detailed and clear . . . his main strength is his forensic challenge to the clichés and myths on which western triumphalism about the Cold War is based . . . Service is an authoritative voice offering a more nuanced view.' Victor Sebestyen, Sunday Times
