Three Days in Moscow: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Empire by Bret Baier, Catherine Whitney
4.0
Read aloud to the kids for our Cold War history. I didn't read the description of this book closely before purchasing, and soon realized it was much more of a book about Reagan than just the politics of the Cold War. However, we used it as a jumping off point for many good discussions, and it still worked as a read aloud. Particularly interesting for us was contrasting the leadership of Reagan with Trump, the ideas of taking responsibilities for ones actions, treating others with kindness even during disagreements, and humble leadership are all so foreign today. Reagan certainly saw democracy as savior more than I do, but we appreciated learning about the fall of communism through his life.
