Summary
The conventional wisdom that the Soviet Union was responsible for the demise of détente in the 1970s is deeply flawed. In the case of Middle East, for example, it was the United States, not the Soviet Union, that refused to cooperate to achieve an Arab-Israeli agreement, a decision that contributed to détente’s ultimate collapse.
