This book analyzes the last phase of the Warsaw Pact, based on unusually large-scale archival research conducted in many countries.

Analyses the internal tensions of the Soviet-led Cold War alliance as its careened toward its end. Starting with the peak of the alliance's power under Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, the book follows its ossification to its increasing haplessness under Brezhnev's successors Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko.
