Includes Author's Note on Sources and Quotations, Cast of Characters, Major Acronyms and Programs, Prologue, and Introduction. Also includes Epilogue, Postscript, Acknowledgments, Sources, Select Bibliography, Notes, and Index. Marc Ambinder (born c. 1978) is an American university professor, journalist and producer. He is a former politics editor at the Atlantic, a White House Correspondent for National Journal, contributing editor for GQ, and was editor-at-large of The Week and a member of the USA Today national board of contributors. His third book, The Brink: President Reagan and the Nuclear War Scare of 1983. He has taught at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, where he led Annneberg's digital security initiative. Recounting the scary series of close encounters that tested the limits of ordinary men and powerful leaders alike, the author shows how supple, flexible, and compassionate political leadership ultimately triumphed over the strife of interests, helping Russia and the United States sue for a fragile peace. Derived from a Kirkus review: n account of the tense relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during Ronald Reagan's first presidential term. On Nov. 7, 1983, NATO commenced a five-day military exercise called Able Archer 83. In simulating a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe and a NATO nuclear response, Able Archer scared the Soviet Union into believing that an actual U.S.-led attack was imminent. Thus the Russians readied their nuclear forces and placed military units in Eastern Europe on alert, bringing the two superpowers to the edge of war. Ambinder, a former White House correspondent and TV producer, chronicles the road to this near catastrophe. In relating incidents such as Reagan's "evil empire" speech, the Soviet Union's shooting down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, and the installation of Pershing II missiles in Western Europe, the author skillfully places the Able Archer exercise within the context of the fraught Cold War atmosphere of the early 1980s. He also argues that a key to the easing of this tension was Reagan's belated understanding that Russian distrust was rooted in the fact that, as the president noted in his diary, "many people at the top of the Soviet hierarchy were genuinely afraid of America and Americans." The book features interviews with government officials and spies who were on the scene. An informative and often enthralling book. First Hardcover Edition (stated). First printing [stated]/.

Marc Ambinder (born c. 1978) is an American university professor, journalist, and television producer. He is a former politics editor at The Atlantic, a White House Correspondent for National Journal, contributing editor for GQ, and was editor-at-large of The Week and a member of the USA Today national board of contributors. In 2017, he was the journalist-in-residence at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. His third book, The Brink: President Reagan and the Nuclear War Scare of 1983, was published 2018. He teaches at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, where he leads Annneberg's digital security initiative. He has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Vice, and numerous national magazines. He has been a consulting producer and on-air expert for documentaries about special operations forces, the Secret Service and government doomsday plans. He has been a guest on every national television news network in the U.S., on the BBC, and was a regular analyst on politics for CBS News Radio. His journalism has won him several awards. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2005 and was part of a team that won a DuPont Silver Baton from Columbia University. The incredible story of the 1983 war game that triggered a tense, brittle period of nuclear brinkmanship between the United States and the former Soviet Union. What happened in 1983 to make the Soviet Union so afraid of a potential nuclear strike from the United States that they sent mobile ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) into the field, placing them on a three-minute alert? Marc Ambinder explains the anxious period between the United States and the Soviet Union from 1982 to 1984, with the Able Archer 83 war game as the fulcrum of the tension. With astonishing and clarifying new details, he recounts the scary series of the close encounters that tested the limits of ordinary humans and powerful leaders alike. Ambinder explains how political leadership ultimately triumphed over misunderstandings, helping the two countries maintain a fragile peace. Ambinder provides a comprehensive and chilling account of the nuclear command and control process, from intelligence warnings to the composition of the nuclear codes themselves. And he affords glimpses into the secret world of a preemptive electronic attack that scared the Soviet Union into action. Ambinder's account reads like a thriller, recounting the spy-versus-spy games that kept both countries, and the world, in check. From geopolitics in Moscow and Washington, to sweat-caked soldiers fighting in the trenches of the Cold War, to high-stakes war games across NATO and the Warsaw Pact, The Brink serves as the definitive intelligence, nuclear, and national security history of one of the most precarious times in recent memory.
