About this audiobook
A gripping historical account of President Ronald Reagan’s battle to end the Cold War, adapted for young readers from the book by #1 bestselling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier
On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stood before a packed audience at Moscow State University. He delivered a speech that would go down in history, as it was the first time an American president had given an address about human rights on Russian soil. The importance of this speech was largely overlooked at the time, yet the following year, in November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union began to disintegrate, leaving the United States the sole superpower on the world stage.
Adapted for a younger audience, Three Days in Moscow reveals the president’s critical and often misunderstood role in orchestrating a successful, peaceful ending to the Cold War.
This accessible account sheds light on America’s current place in the world while introducing young readers to one of America’s most remarkable leaders—and the unique qualities that allowed him to succeed with America’s most dangerous enemy, when his predecessors had fallen short.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Reviews for Three Days in Moscow Young Readers' Edition
19 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reagan’s fight against communism through his speeches. Culminating with his 1988 speech to the students of Moscow University while standing beneath a bust of a scowling Lenin. A good book that, unfortunately, won’t be read by those that should.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you, Bret Baier, for giving us a book that tells a familiar story in a new and exciting way. While there are always new things to learn, even about a familiar story, the presentation in this book is outstanding. Once again, one finds the towering figure of Ronald Reagan and his ability to size up a situation in order to make the most of it. Not only that but how he used humor to make difficult moments more palatable. Many things contributed to the End of the Cold War but the President's position, at the middle, centered all those events. Mr. Baier has presented the story in an orderly fashion that makes this book a joy to read.
