Description

This riveting story is the result of research culled from newly declassified documents.

Former White House officials Martin Anderson and Annelise Anderson were recently granted unprecedented access to the Reagan Library's innermost vault. They discovered irrefutable evidence that Reagan intended to bring down the Soviet Union, that eliminating nuclear weapons was his paramount objective, and that Reagan himself was the principal architect of policies that ultimately brought the Soviets to the negotiating table.


From the Compact Disc edition.

Reviews

Henry A. Kissinger...
"Reagan's Secret War may change forever the image held by many. . . . With unprecedented access to his private papers, including his personal diary, the Andersons present a deeply involved and adroit leader."
 
James A. Baker III, 61st U.S. Secretary of State...
"Artfully and accurately explains how, when, and where . . . All who are interested in the elimination of nuclear weapons should read Reagan's Secret War."
 
from the Foreword by George P. Shultz, former Secretary of State...
"An immense contribution . . . the authors have defied assumptions about what Reagan thought and said and conducted painstaking research to get at the truth of what he really planned and executed. All of us who are gripped by the transcendent importance of the nuclear threat will learn, and be inspired, by this account."
 
Sam Nunn, former Senator, cochairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative...
"Ronald Reagan's steadfast commitment to abolish all nuclear weapons is brought to life in Martin and Annelise Anderson's captivating narrative. . . . If the world makes it to the nuclear-free mountaintop, we will have President Reagan to thank for inspiring our climb."
 
Ed Meese, former U.S. Attorney General...
"Superb . . . The authors' unique access to previously classified materials and to the president's personal documents enabled them to write the most complete and accurate account of this historic effort."
 
Lou Cannon, author of President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime...
"Compelling . . . a valuable contribution to understanding the Reagan legacy."
