William Inboden, author of The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink, Executive Director of the Clements Center for National Security, and Associate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, joins The Realignment to discuss how President Reagan's grand strategy led to the Soviet Union's "negotiated surrender," America's long-term strengths in the face of short-term challenges, and how the conditions of the 1980s compare to what many describe as our second Cold War with China and Russia.
