Description
The Soviet Union from October 1986 to January 1989 fills Volume VI of the 1981-1988 Foreign Relations series. Its 183 documents run in one sequence. They open in Reykjavik's wake and follow the road to the INF Treaty of 1987. Talk records show Shultz and Gorbachev reviewing arms cuts topic by topic. A reduction to 6,000 warheads is among the points of agreement carried forward. Summits in Washington and Moscow anchor the middle of the volume.
The papers also cover Afghanistan's wind-down and human rights cases. By the close, the tone is one of working partnership. The volume ends the series' Soviet arc on a high note.
