The Reagan Reversal

A history of Ronald Reagan`s foreign policy, concentrating on his shift to a more conciliatory attitude towards Gorbachev and the Soviets during the start of his second term. Was this change in policy a response to a new situation abroad, the pressures of the electorate at home, or Reagan`s own estimate of the situation? Fischer, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, maintains that the conventional reading of these events--on both the Left and the Right--is mistaken.
