A Letter to Brezhnev:
As Ronald Reagan recovered in the White House, he decided that the time has come to try to transform US relations with the Soviet Union.
President Reagan composed this letter and sent it to Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, trying to reassure him that the United States had no territorial ambitions around the world but would not ignore Soviet aggression. Brezhnev rejected President Reagan's attempts at personal diplomacy. But it was an approach the president would try again, with other Soviet leaders, with great success. |
