This yet another excellent volume in the Oral History series. No slant--just the views and opinions of those who were there. I must say it focuses way more time on Iran-Contra than the Soviet nuke summits etc. Reagan's visit to Moscow is barely touched upon. Although the Iran-Contra stuff is enlightening, I would have liked more insight on the Reagan-Gorby relationship. Considering there have been entire books written on the subject, I'm sure there were lots of questions to ask. Anyway--a very insightful book, but a bit Iran-Contra heavy. I highly recommend it.
