A dramatic account of the historic 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland - the turning point in the Cold War - by Ken Adelman, Reagan's arms control director and a key player in that weekend's world-changing events. In October 1986, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met for a forty-eight-hour summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. Planned as a short gathering to outline future talks, the meeting quickly turned to major international issues, including SDI ("Star Wars") and the possibility of eliminating all nuclear weapons.

Great Read
Revisado: 07-22-15
This was a great telling of the Reagan years and the end of the Cold War. I didn't care for the narrator's style - apparently trying to sound like Reagan in a dramatic whisper like performance - but the content was very good and the book well written. An insider's look without the heavy bias you sometimes get in political storytelling.

Written by cancer physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies is a stunning combination of medical history, cutting-edge science, and narrative journalism that transforms our understanding of cancer and much of the world around us. Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a novelist's richness of detail, a historian's range, and a biographer's passion.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a terrific book but you really need to be into history and medicine to appreciate all the detailed research that was done to produce such a comprehensive piece. A fascinating biography (of cancer) that walks the reader through human history, politics in medicine and the pain and suffering from a disease we are only just beginning to understand. Physician and author, Mukherjee does a superb job of storytelling and holding the reader's attention.
