    Michael Beschloss on the Cold War: The Crisis Years, Mayday, and At the Highest Levels

    Michael Beschloss, Strobe Talbott, "Michael Beschloss on the Cold War: The Crisis Years, Mayday, and At the Highest Levels"
    English | 2018 | ASIN: B07K1X23BN | EPUB | pages: 2649 | 7.8 mb

    Riveting accounts of the Cold War power struggles from the New York Times–bestselling author and “nation’s leading presidential historian” (Newsweek).
     
    The Crisis Years: A national bestseller on the complex relationship between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, this “definitive” history covers the tumultuous period from 1960 through 1963 when the Berlin Wall was built, and the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the United States and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war (David Remnick, The New Yorker).
     
    “Impressively researched and engrossingly narrated.” —Los Angeles Times
     
    Mayday: On May Day 1960, Soviet forces downed a CIA U-2 spy plane flown by Francis Gary Powers, two weeks before a crucial summit. This forced President Dwight Eisenhower to decide whether to admit to Nikita Khrushchev—and the world—that he had secretly ordered the flight. Drawing on previously unavailable CIA documents, diaries, and letters, as well as the recollections of Eisenhower’s aides, Beschloss reveals the full high-stakes drama.
     
    “One of the best stories yet written about just how those grand men of diplomacy and intrigue conducted our business.” —Time
     
    At the Highest Levels: Cowritten with Strobe Talbott, At the Highest Levels exposes the complex negotiations between President George Bush and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. In December 1989, the Berlin Wall had fallen, millions across the Eastern Bloc were enjoying new freedoms, and the USSR was crumbling. But a peaceful end to the Cold War was far from assured, requiring an unlikely partnership, as the leaders of rival superpowers had to look beyond the animosities of the past and embrace an uncertain future.
     
    “Intimate and utterly absorbing.” —The New York Times
