Reykjavik's Night Shift: What 'The Brink of War' Reveals About Arms Control
Original: The Night Shift at Reykjavik: What ‘The Brink of War’ Tells Us about Arms Control
New America highlights 'The Brink of War', a work revisiting the 1986 Reykjavik summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, where the two leaders came close to agreeing to abolish nuclear weapons before talks collapsed over missile defences. The piece argues that the famous overnight negotiations still hold lessons for today's weakened arms control regime, as key treaties lapse and nuclear risks rise again.
Why now: Renewed concern over nuclear arms control, with major treaties expiring and superpower tensions rising, is driving fresh interest in the Reykjavik summit's lessons.
