Overview

In this major new book, Michael MccGwire describes the radical rethinking of Soviet national security that together with the decision to democratize Soviet politics prompted these developments. MccGwire was among the first to recognize the shift and foresee the implications. He masterfully places the redefinition of Soviet security requirements in the broader context of worldwide foreign policy and explains the implications for the United States.
