Ronald Reagan and the Cold War

[John Simkin]

Following the death of Ronald Reagan last night I thought it might be a good idea to discuss the role he played in the Cold War. After all, some political commentators have said that he was the man responsible for “winning” the Cold War.

I have therefore started a new thread on Reagan and his foreign policy in the Cold War Project. Hopefully members will post their comments on this thread. This will then become a teaching resource (with student activities).

May be you should rename the thread to Reagan/Bush and the Cold War

For it is widely acknowledged that the Reagan Administration was run by the Vice President, just like the Eisenhower administration was run by Nixon and partners.
