Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

David A. Andelman’s voice is a perfect match for the gravity of the Reykjavik Summit. His calm and measured tone brings each participant to life, from Reagan's optimism to Gorbachev's skepticism. The narrative pacing is impeccable; it builds tension as it delves into the critical discussions and backroom deals that could have averted nuclear disaster. Yet, there are moments where the dense political jargon might slow down the flow for those less immersed in Cold War history. Despite this, 'An Impossible Dream' remains an essential listen for anyone interested in the near-miss of global nuclear annihilation.
