Listen to my 10-minute audio interview with Melvyn Leffler, the author of a new book on the history of the Cold War, here. We spend most of it discussing Reagan and Gorbachev, and why Reagan’s stock as president is rising among academic historians. Follow the link for more interviews with the likes of Laura Ingraham, Jay Winik, and George McKenna. Next week we’ll post an interview with Lynne Cheney, whose new memoir on growing up in Wyoming is about to be released.
