Description: First published in 1991 as The Turn, this is the gripping narrative history of the most important international development of our time - the passage of the United States and the Soviet Union from the Cold War to a new era. Don Oberdorfer makes the reader a privileged behind-the-scenes spectator as U.S. and Soviet leaders take each other's measure and slowly set about their historic task.

Oberdorfer writes diplomatic history with a vital difference: extraordinary intimacy made possible by comprehensive interviews with major figures on both sides and exclusive material from a host of other sources. Now this book is available in a new, updated paperback edition, which continues the narrative up to the dramatic collapse of the Soviet Union.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [487]-517) and index.
