"""Freeman has written a ground-breaking study of the decade 1979–89, covering issues of the disarmament movement and diplomatic attempts to reduce or outright ban nuclear weapons...[She] is to be commended for this pioneering study of disarmament in the 1980s, which simultaneously considers big-power diplomacy and small-power disarmament activism."" * Choice * ""As the world once again faces the threat of nuclear conflict, Stephanie L. Freeman’s Dreams for a Decade is a welcome reminder of the way that activists and officials, raising their voices in support of nuclear abolition, helped to reduce that risk in the past."" * M. E. Sarotte, author of Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate * ""Dreams for a Decade links in novel, surprising ways the international nuclear freeze movement of the early 1980s to broader, East-West efforts to transcend the Cold War by rendering the nuclear arms race extinct. Stephanie L. Freeman deftly weaves top-down and bottom-up approaches together into a sweeping narrative of the largest peace movement of the past fifty years. A must-read for those interested in the entangled histories of nuclear weapons, antiwar movements, and the Cold War."" * Jonathan R. Hunt, author of The Nuclear Club: How America and the World Policed the Atom from Hiroshima to Vietnam *"
