Britain's Secret Role in Ending the Cold
War
Widely underestimated is the British role played in ending
the cold war face-off between the Soviet block and the Western
powers. During the 1980's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,
sent special advisor Mr. Bean to serve as Britain's representative
on American president Ronald Reagan's arms control commission.
For several months, President Reagan and Mr. Bean conferred
on strategic arms issues - culminating in the treaty signed
in the picture on the left. Mr. Reagan later commented, "Gosh
darn, that Mr. Bean sure understands these weapons thingys".
