REAGAN'S WAR(ISBN=9780385722285) 英文原版 azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

Reagan’s War is the story of Ronald Reagan’s personal

and political journey as an anti-communist, from his early days as

an actor to his years in the White House. Challenging popular

misconceptions of Reagan as an empty suit who played only a passive

role in the demise of the Soviet Union, Peter Schweizer details

Reagan’s decades-long battle against communism.

Bringing to light previously secret information obtained from

archives in the United States, Germany, Poland, Hungary, and

Russia—including Reagan’s KGB file—Schweizer offers a compelling

case that Reagan personally mapped out and directed his war against

communism, often disagreeing with experts and advisers. An

essential book for understanding the Cold War, Reagan’s War

should be read by open-minded readers across the political

spectrum.

The Cold War rhetoric of the subtitle is completely apropos to

this hagiography, which gives the Gipper full credit for bringing

down the Soviet Union. Schweizer is a fellow at Stanford's Hoover

Institution and coauthor, with Caspar Weinberger (Reagan's

secretary of defense) of The Next War. Using Reagan's own files and

papers, and other newly released material, Schweizer demonstrates

Reagan's development as a critic and determined opponent of

communism and of the Stalinist Soviet Union. Schweizer depicts

Reagan, from the beginning, regarding tactics and realpolitik as

more important than ideas; in the process, the author does not

carefully distinguish (as Reagan and most others of the era did

not) Stalinism and what came after from communism as an ideal.

Reflection, study and conviction led Reagan to the belief that

steady pressure systematically applied would eventually bring down

a Soviet Union whose legitimacy rested ultimately on force. He

remained committed to this vision as his status rose in a

Republican Party itself increasingly committed to a detente that

Reagan argued both weakened the West and prolonged the survival of

its rival power. Schweizer takes pains to establish the widespread

belief in the West by 1980 that the balance of economic, military,

and political forces had irrevocably shifted in favor of the

U.S.S.R. On assuming the presidency, Reagan brought about a huge

change in U.S. policy, abandoning defensive counterpunching and

actively prosecuting a Cold War the U.S.S.R. had never ceased to

wage. Schweizer argues that Reagan spent as much time convincing

his own lieutenants to abandon the defensive as he did confronting

the Russians. It's a story that is clearly and stirringly told, but

without seriously entertaining dissenting views on its iconic

subject.
