| Zusammenfassung: | "This is a story that you did not read in the newspapers. At the Highest Levels reveals a hitherto secret dimension of the most momentous event of our time: the end of the Cold War. Beschloss and Talbott show us the vital transactions that George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev made and concealed from the world: Bush's pledge not to press Gorbachev for Baltic independence, the manipulations for German unification, how the Soviet Union joined the Gulf War Coalition, Bush's private warnings to Gorbachev that he was about to be overthrown, and the U.S. president's secret efforts to prevent the breakup of the Soviet Union and keep Gorbachev in power." "From early in 1989, the two prizewinning authors were granted unprecedented access to classified U.S. and Soviet documents, cables, telephone transcripts, and diplomatic records, on the condition that they not publish the information before the end of 1992. Such was their access that in the final days before the Soviet Union's collapse, as they relate in this book, Beschloss and Talbott were asked by a Gorbachev confidant to convey to President Bush a private message about Gorbachev's fate under Boris Yeltsin." "With novelistic detail and intimacy, At the Highest Levels shows Bush and Gorbachev behind closed doors as they fence with domestic foes and suspicious allies. It demonstrates how the two leaders came to believe that their most dangerous opponents were no longer each other but forces inside their own countries. As Beschloss and Talbott argue, the two leaders' excessive reliance on each other contributed to Gorbachev's fall from power in December 1991 and Bush's own collapse less than a year later."--BOOK JACKET. |

| adam_text | This is
a story
that you did not read in the news¬
papers. At the Highest Leveb reveals a hitherto
secret dimension of the most momentous event of
our time: the end of the Cold War. Beschloss and
Tblbott show us the vital transactions that George
Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev made and concealed
from the world: Bush s pledge not to press Gor¬
bachev for Baltic independence, the manipulations
for German unification, how the Soviet Union joined
the Gulf War coalition, Bush s private warnings to
Gorbachev that he was about to be overthrown, and
the U.S. president s secret efforts to prevent the
breakup of the Soviet Union and keep Gorbachev
in power.
From early in
1989,
the two prizewinning authors
were granted unprecedented access to classified U.S.
and Soviet documents, cables, telephone transcripts,
and diplomatic records, on the condition that they
not publish the information before the end of
1992.
Such was their access that in the final days before
the Soviet Union s collapse, as they relate in this
book, Beschloss and Mbott were asked by a
Gorbachev confidant to convey to President Bush
a private message about Gorbachev s fete under
Boris Yeltsin.
With
noveMk
detaa and intimacy, At the
Highest
ί^ώ
shows Bush and Gorbachev behind
dosed doors as they fence with domestic foes and
suspicious dies, ft demonstrates how the two fead-
ers cane to befieve that their most dangerous oppo¬
nents were no
Jonger
each other but forces inside
their own countries. As Beschfoss aid Tblbott argue,
the two
kaders
excessive reliance on each other
contributed to Gorbachev s fell from power in
December
Ш1
Mid Bush s own coBapse
fess
than
a year later.

Boston [u.a.] Little, Brown 1993 XIV, 498 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier "This is a story that you did not read in the newspapers. At the Highest Levels reveals a hitherto secret dimension of the most momentous event of our time: the end of the Cold War. Beschloss and Talbott show us the vital transactions that George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev made and concealed from the world: Bush's pledge not to press Gorbachev for Baltic independence, the manipulations for German unification, how the Soviet Union joined the Gulf War Coalition, Bush's private warnings to Gorbachev that he was about to be overthrown, and the U.S. president's secret efforts to prevent the breakup of the Soviet Union and keep Gorbachev in power." "From early in 1989, the two prizewinning authors were granted unprecedented access to classified U.S. and Soviet documents, cables, telephone transcripts, and diplomatic records, on the condition that they not publish the information before the end of 1992. Such was their access that in the final days before the Soviet Union's collapse, as they relate in this book, Beschloss and Talbott were asked by a Gorbachev confidant to convey to President Bush a private message about Gorbachev's fate under Boris Yeltsin." "With novelistic detail and intimacy, At the Highest Levels shows Bush and Gorbachev behind closed doors as they fence with domestic foes and suspicious allies. It demonstrates how the two leaders came to believe that their most dangerous opponents were no longer each other but forces inside their own countries. As Beschloss and Talbott argue, the two leaders' excessive reliance on each other contributed to Gorbachev's fall from power in December 1991 and Bush's own collapse less than a year later."--BOOK JACKET.
