Review

"Mann is a dogged seeker after evidence and a judicious sifter of it. His verdict is convincing."

Publisher's note

The author of Rise of the Vulcans presents a controversial analysis of the fortieth president's role in ending the cold war, in a provocative report that challenges popular beliefs, reveals lesser-known aspects of the Reagan administration's foreign policy, and cites the contributions of such figures as Nixon, Kissinger, and Gorbachev.

In "The Rebellion of Ronald Reagan, New York Times" bestselling author James Mann directs his keen analysis to Ronald Reaganas role in ending the Cold War. Drawing on new interviews and previously unavailable documents, Mann offers a fresh and compelling narrativeaa new history assessing what Reagan did, and did not do, to help bring Americaas four-decade conflict with the Soviet Union to a close.
As he did so masterfully in "Rise of the Vulcans," Mann sheds new light on the hidden aspects of American foreign policy. He reveals previously undisclosed secret messages between Reagan and Moscow; internal White House intrigues; and battles with leading figures such as Nixon and Kissinger, who repeatedly questioned Reaganas unfolding diplomacy with Mikhail Gorbachev. He details the background and fierce debate over Reaganas famous Berlin Wall speech and shows how it fit into Reaganas policies. Ultimately, Mann dispels the facile stereotypes of Reagan in favor of a levelheaded, cogent understanding of a determined president and his strategy.
This book finally answers the troubling questions about Reaganas actual role in the crumbling of Soviet power; and concludes that by recognizing the significance of Gorbachev, Reagan helped bring the Cold War to a close.
