Description: In this revised edition of his highly acclaimed 1985 volume, incorporating newly declassified Russian as well as American official documents, Raymond Garthoff reexamines the historical development of American-Soviet relations from 1969 through 1980. The book takes into account both the broader context of world politics and internal political considerations and developments.

Garthoff examines these developments as experienced by both sides, analyzing Soviet as well as American policy, with the benefit of a new perspective on this period from the post-Soviet, post-Cold War vantage point.
