“Kennan embodied the contradictions of Cold War
anti-communism and a distrust of democracy, particularly as expressed in
American anti- communist hysteria. Kennan later moved toward a
"realist" perspective, shedding ideology and addressing himself to
the practical issues of detente and arms control. This intellectual biography
will serve general readers as well as students and scholars.” Excellent notes and
bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
