"Impressively researched and engrossingly narrated." --Los Angeles TimesMayday On May Day 1960, Soviet forces downed a CIA U-2 spy plane flown by Francis Gary Powers, two weeks before a crucial summit.

Drawing on previously unavailable CIA documents, diaries, and letters, as well as the recollections of Eisenhower's aides, Beschloss reveals the full high-stakes drama. "One of the best stories yet written about just how those grand men of diplomacy and intrigue conducted our business." --TimeAt the Highest Levels Cowritten with Strobe Talbott, At the Highest Levels exposes the complex negotiations between President George Bush and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. In December 1989, the Berlin Wall had fallen, millions across the Eastern Bloc were enjoying new freedoms, and the USSR was crumbling.
