Why read it?
1 author picked The Peacemaker as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In The Peacemaker, William Inboden draws on declassified materials, interviews with high-level government officials, and on Reagan’s personal diary to write the most thorough, fair, and scrupulously researched account of Reagan’s foreign policy and the successful end of the Cold War.

From Mark's list on critical world events from a new angle.
