Focusing on the West German anti-missile movement, this book offers a detailed analysis of how international peace movements influenced the Reagan administration during the Cold War. It challenges traditional narratives by presenting evidence that these movements, rather than military escalation, played a crucial role in ending the Cold War. Through extensive research, the author enhances social movement theory and examines the relationship between political parties and public dissent, highlighting the profound and lasting impact of these movements on global politics and society.
