International Security 16(1) 162-188. This article by Thomas discusses whether the western strategy of containment or simply “peace through Strength” was the main factor that facilitated the termination of cold war. The author argues that standing firm and not relenting towards the Soviet Union paid off. Reagan implemented this great foreign policy. Therefore the debated issues in this article are relevant to my research topic and will help provide some important and basic insights to my research. Gaddis J. L. (2005).

Order Description:

For your annotated bibliography please list out 5-7 sources you are planning on using to write your research paper. For each source, write a 2-3 sentence description of the source and why you think it will be helpful. Please see the examples below. Sources can come from a variety of areas, print material, newspaper, journal articles, think tank published reports. Please do not use Wikipedia as a source (though it can be a helpful starting place) or a website article unless it either comes from a government website, or was officially published (for example an article from the New York Times is fine, but a random blog post is not.)
