At the height of the Cold War's twilight, two global superpowers met in Moscow for one of the most consequential diplomatic encounters of the twentieth century — and USSR-USA: Summit: Moscow, May 29–June 2, 1988: Documents and Materials stands as the definitive primary-source record of that historic meeting. This official compilation chronicles the landmark summit between Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, presenting the full spectrum of communiqués, joint statements, speeches, and agreements exchanged during those pivotal five days — a moment that signaled a profound thaw in superpower relations and accelerated the end of decades of ideological confrontation. Published by the Novosti Press Agency Publishing House in Moscow mere weeks after the summit itself, the volume carries an unmatched immediacy and authority, offering readers direct access to the language and rhetoric that shaped world history. The collection illuminates the careful diplomacy behind arms reduction negotiations, human rights dialogues, and bilateral cooperation agreements, revealing the intricate machinery of statecraft in action. For historians, political scientists, and anyone captivated by the grand drama of geopolitics, this rare document raises a haunting question: how fragile — and how deliberate — was the peace that followed?
