Abstract

Book Reviews 30 August 1986 in a tit-for-tat retaliation for the arrest in New York by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov a week before. For a while the two superpowers locked horns in a tussle neither had wanted and did not know how to unlock. The resolution was the expulsion of Zakharov from the United States after he pleaded nolo contendere in a federal court to three counts of espionage, the release of this reviewer from a Moscow jail, and the go-ahead for Reykjavik. Looking back, I have one major impression of President Reagan at Reykjavik as viewed from the outside world of the press room. The collapse of the meeting created a feeling around the globe that the world was plunging back into the worst days of the Cold War. However, before leaving for home, Reagan addressed U.S. troops at the Keflavik air base with confident words that the world was not coming to an end, that negotiations would go on despite more pessimistic assessments by some of his aides. I thought then and think now that Reagan’s optimism in a spasm of despair was a brilliant example of leadership. Adelman captures
