TLS as president, signed “Ron,” one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, January 23, 1986. Letter to Jo B. Regan, in part: "Thanks so much for sending me a copy of Angela Ortenheim's book, To Survive or Not to Survive. I look forward to an opportunity to read it; just skimming through, I can see she has written on a very interesting aspect of the subject. Please convey to her my deep commitment to peace and to the prevention of nuclear war. As you know, I am firmly convinced that a nuclear war can never be won and, therefore, must never be fought. It was most thoughtful of you to share this book with me." In very fine condition.
Ronald Reagan believed that nuclear war could never be won and must never be fought, emphasizing the need to reduce the threat of global annihilation. He pursued a strong military buildup to pressure the Soviet Union into negotiations from a position of strength. Ultimately, Reagan’s diplomacy led to major arms control agreements, including the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, marking a significant step toward de-escalation of the Cold War.
