In October 1986, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland, for what was expected to be a routine meeting. Instead, their extraordinary 48 hours of negotiations helped change the course of the Cold War. In The Brink of War, former arms control director and Reagan aide Ken Adelman shares his firsthand account of the summit, taking readers behind the scenes as the two leaders confronted nuclear weapons, missile defense, and the future of U.S.-Soviet relations. Drawing on his experience working with Reagan, Adelman explores the personalities, tensions, and decisions that shaped the weekend. This historical nonfiction account examines a pivotal encounter that helped set the stage for reductions in nuclear arsenals and the end of the Cold War, offering an insider’s perspective on the people behind the negotiations and the stakes facing a world divided. $0.99 on Kindle.
