500 |a Gorbachev's Foreign Policy: The Architect of Imperial Shrinkage. 
520 |a Washington's failure to foresee the collapse of its superpower rival ranks high in the pantheon of predictive failures. The question of who got what right or wrong has been intertwined with the deeper issue of ""who won"" the Cold War.

The intelligence community has come in for harsh criticism for overestimating Soviet strength and overlook.
