Basically a review of Reagan's life and presidency through the lens of the three days he spent in Moscow at Gorbachev's behest, and his speech to Russian university students there. It's easy to read and understand, and provides a good overview of Reagan and the time period. Some of the more detailed explanations of the speech and Reagan's inner workings was neat. I don't think the speech was as important as others, like the "Evil Empire" speech or the Berlin Wall speech, but it is a good speech to hang a narrative on: Reagan's foreign policy, his hopes for the future, his role in ending the Cold War.

This is more than just a book specific to Reagan in Moscow. It’s a biography of Ronald Reagan and his Presidency. It is the story of the meetings with Gorbachev and his trip to Moscow. As well as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall during the Presidencies of George Bush and Boris Yeltsin. A very interesting book. ( )

Reagan’s fight against communism through his speeches. Culminating with his 1988 speech to the students of Moscow University while standing beneath a bust of a scowling Lenin. A good book that, unfortunately, won’t be read by those that should. ( )

Thank you, Bret Baier, for giving us a book that tells a familiar story in a new and exciting way. While there are always new things to learn, even about a familiar story, the presentation in this book is outstanding. Once again, one finds the towering figure of Ronald Reagan and his ability to size up a situation in order to make the most of it. Not only that but how he used humor to make difficult moments more palatable. Many things contributed to the End of the Cold War but the President's position, at the middle, centered all those events. Mr. Baier has presented the story in an orderly fashion that makes this book a joy to read. ( )
