The author reconstructs the different periods and issues in the evolution of U.S.-Soviet relations based on his personal experience and views, drawing in part on his participation in some of the events since 1969.  The author surveys Soviet-American relations in retrospect.  Then the period of detente is examined.  A discussion of Soviet foreign policy and defense strategy in transition includes sections on the new balance of power with the United States, the China factor, and the more aggressive Soviet course from Angola to Afghanistan. The Soviet-American position on SALT and the SALT process is reassessed.  Finally, the outlook and prospects for Soviet-American relations is assessed, and the real meaning and significance of the current Polish crisis is given.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationsy1975-1985. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationszUnited States. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1981-1989. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationszSoviet Union.2 aRand Corporation.2 aFord Foundation.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R2763/
