This strategy, known as the "rollback doctrine," was based on the belief that the Soviet Union was a weak and brittle empire that could be brought down with a combination of economic pressure and covert operations.

The Reagan Administration implemented the rollback doctrine through a series of covert operations, including:

• Providing financial and military support to anti-Soviet rebels in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, and Angola.
• Launching a propaganda campaign to undermine the Soviet Union's image and legitimacy.
• Encouraging the development of a dissident movement within the Soviet Union.

These covert operations were highly successful in destabilizing the Soviet Union. The economic pressure from the Reagan Administration's sanctions and trade embargoes crippled the Soviet economy. The propaganda campaign sowed doubt and mistrust among the Soviet people. And the dissident movement grew in strength, providing a voice for the growing number of Soviets who were disillusioned with the communist regime.

The Reagan Administration's secret strategy ultimately succeeded in hastening the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down, and in 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved. The Reagan Administration's rollback doctrine had proven to be a masterstroke of statecraft.
