Reviews

A fascinating volume. . . . The book poses anew, in an admirably lean and accessible way, a question that has long swirled around Kennan: What were the intellectual underpinnings of his insistence on a restrained, 'realist' foreign policy that shunned bold efforts to remake the world in the American image? * <i>New York Times</i> *

The book poses anew, in an admirably lean and accessible way, a question that has long swirled around Kennan: What were the intellectual underpinnings of his insistence on a restrained, 'realist' foreign policy that shunned bold efforts to remake the world in the American image? -New York Times
