William Inboden’s “The Peacemaker” is the story of the eight years of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, as he and his foreign policy team managed, in real time, multiple crises around the globe.
From the emergence of global terrorism, wars in the Middle East, the rise of Japan and the awakening of China, Reagan’s team oversaw the worldwide expansion of democracy, globalization, free trade, and the information revolution.
Yet no issue was greater than the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union.
As president, Reagan cast aside the four-decades-old policy of containment and challenged the Soviets in an arms race that pushed them towards economic and political collapse.
