WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE

The first full account of how the Cold War arms race finally came to a close, this riveting narrative history sheds new light on the people who struggled to end this era of massive overkill, and examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that remain a threat today.

Drawing on memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman examines the inner motives and secret decisions of each side and details the deadly stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet Union collapsed. This is the fascinating story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and a previously unheralded collection of scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies changed the course of history.

Chic little clutch that makes me feel pulled together
Color: Gold
This woven clutch has become my favorite for dressier outings. I’ve carried it to a dinner party and a night at the orchestra, and both times I got compliments before I even made it to my seat. It holds just enough — phone, lipstick, cards, and keys, without feeling bulky. The woven design looks more expensive than it is, and the clasp feels sturdy and satisfying to click shut. I especially like that it comes with a chain strap, so I can switch from elegant dinner mode to something more relaxed without juggling everything in my hands. My only small gripe is that I wish it came in more colors because now I want one to match every outfit. It’s that perfect mix of classy and practical, with just a hint of sass.
