Drawing upon newly declassified records from the White House, Department of State, National Security Council and U. S. intelligence agencies, this authoritative volume reproduces the memoranda, diplomatic telegrams, policy papers and high-level correspondence that shaped American strategy during one of the Cold War's most significant periods. Major topics include: Reagan's early Soviet strategy Strategic Arms Limitation (SALT) negotiations National Security Decision Directive 75 (NSDD-75) NATO nuclear modernisation The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan The Polish crisis and martial law Siberian gas pipeline sanctions East-West diplomacy Human rights and Soviet dissidents White House and State Department policy debates U.
