It was the last time the world had a chance to do away entirely with nuclear weapons. This is the behind-the-scenes story of this remarkable summit conference in the remote Icelandic capital. An Impossible Dream is the first exploration of recently-available archives of both sides--top-secret archives of the Kremlin and the personal papers of Mikhail Gorbachev, as well as the archives of Ronald Reagan. These chronicles, personal diaries and previously classified memoranda are deeply enriched by the personal reminiscences of many of the key players at this era. But above all, the stage is set with a personal and exclusive preface from Mikhail Gorbachev himself. 546 $a Translated from the French. 600 10 $a Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeevich, $d 1931- 600 10 $a Reagan, Ronald. 650 0 $a Arms race $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Arms race $z United States. 650 0 $a Nuclear disarmament $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Nuclear disarmament $z Soviet Union $x History. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Summit meetings $z ReykjaviÌk. $z ReykjaviÌk. 600 17 $a Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeevich, $d 1931- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00147255 600 17 $a Reagan, Ronald. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036392 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011620.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20191221114601.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003010931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6D9BF74CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
