I can’t vouch for all of what Kozy said, but I did find that the Soviets were stealing any DEC VAX that they could - and we knew it: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures/pages/russians.html

[Kozy]

Ah I wrote what an old mind remembers. The author is not White but Peter Schweizer.
The book is, “Victory: The Reagan Administration’s Secret Strategy that Hastened the Collapse of the Soviet Union.” 1994.
Read reviews before you buy.

Here’s what it covers, “From those he lays out how the Reagan teamers put the Soviet Union in a fatal chokehold through three main areas: 1) bargaining with Saudi Arabia to drive oil prices down, ruining Russia’s main source of revenue, 2) covert operations to supply the mujahedin fighters in Afghanistan with the arms to expel Russian forces from their country, and 3) underground support for Solidarity members in Poland.”

It reads as a report not a novel. You have to be dedicated to read it. Not a Vince Flynn page turner.
