'For those who think of the Cold War as one, continuous conflict from the end of WWII until the demise of the Soviet Union, The Second Cold War provides a valuable correctiveDeeply researched and engagingly written, this book makes a convincing case that changes in US-Soviet relations owe much to domestic political sources.' Matthew Evangelista, President White Professor of History and Political Science, Cornell University
'Carter's hawkish turn in 1979–1980 and Reagan's shift toward negotiation in 1984 bookend a Second Cold War, as Donaghy argues in this rich and important study. Explaining these consequential shifts as responses above all to pressing political concerns at home, Donaghy recenters domestic politics at the heart of US foreign policymaking. A fresh, compelling analysis for both experts and novice students of the Cold War.' Barbara Keys, Professor of US and International History, Durham University
'The Second Cold War is the most compelling and perceptive book I have read detailing the intimate connection between the making of American foreign policy and the influence of domestic politics during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Written in an engaging and fast-paced style, the book captures this important period in American history with understanding and nuance. An outstanding achievement!'
