Book excerpt: History of Reagan's victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War and his defeat at the hands of his domestic political opponents, who sought accommodation with Moscow over victory.

As detailed in this volume, the scandal masked both the president's political defeat and the fundamental change that occurred in American national security strategy.
