Summary
Matlock details how, from the start of his term, Reagan privately pursued improved U.S.-U.S.S.R. relations, while still rebuilding America's military. When Gorbachev assumed leadership, however, Reagan and his advisers found a potential partner in the enterprise of peace. Describes the meetings, initial views the two leaders had of each other, the gradual trust which emerged, and the politically risky steps Gorbachev took that bore long-term benefits. 2004
