Trust But Verify: Reagan, Russia and me

For the first time, Suzanne Massie, the "woman who ended the Cold War, shares the inside story of her interactions with Ronald Reagan that led to the transformation of America's relationship with its most dangerous adversary.

Reagan turned to Massie for her advice and carried her suggestions - including the now famous Russian proverb - trust but verify - into his meetings with the new Russian leader.

With fast-paced writing, an eye for detail, and a sense of humor, this gripping, inspiring memoir tells the story of how one person's passion and insight against all odds and expectations, can help change the course of history.

She is the greatest student I know of the Russian people.
