Review Quotes: "Lettow conveys this extraordinary story crisply and convincingly. . . . A significant addition to our understanding of Reagan and the endgame of the Cold War."
-The Washington Post Book World

"Paul Lettow's sharp and succinct book makes the best case yet for why Ronald Reagan deserves to be remembered as one of the most visionary grand strategists of the twentieth century."
-John Lewis Gaddis

"Paul Lettow is lucid and dispassionate. His willingness to go far back, to the very birth of the nuclear age (which coincided with the very birth of Reagan's anticommunism), and then to trace the story forward as Reagan's ideology slowly matured, pays triumphant dividends."
-Edmund Morris

"Provocative, informative . . . Lettow's achievement is to show that both Reagan's detractors and votaries misread him."
-The New York Times Book Review
