In Three Days in Moscow (2018), Bret Baier of Fox News and his co-writer Catherine Whitney tell a story of patriotism, courage, and ambition, about a man who went to the full extent for the sake of his nation, without ever compromising democracy.

This political biography focuses on President Ronald Reagan’s agenda during his final years in office, before the fall of the Soviet Union. It chronicles major stages that marked his two-term presidency, especially his visit to the USSR for the Moscow summit with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Both leaders showed how long-term enemies could break through historical grievances for the common interest of their nations, as a new, post-Soviet era finally started to unfold. Reagan felt he only had three days to make his appeal and convince the Russian people of the importance of democracy; he had been awaiting this moment for the majority of his life.
