The Kennan Diaries by George F. Kennan, Frank Costigliola
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 742 MB
Overview: A landmark collection, spanning 90 years of U.S. history, of the never-before-published diaries of George F. Kennan, America’s most famous diplomat.On a hot July afternoon in 1953, George F. Kennan descended the steps of the State Department building as a newly retired man. His career had been tumultuous: early postings in eastern Europe followed by Berlin in 1940-41 and Moscow in the last year of World War II. In 1946, the 42-year-old Kennan authored the “Long Telegram”, a 5,500-word indictment of the Kremlin that became mandatory reading in Washington. A year later, in an article in Foreign Affairs, he outlined “containment”, America’s guiding strategy in the Cold War. Yet what should have been the pinnacle of his career – an ambassadorship in Moscow in 1952 – was sabotaged by Kennan himself, deeply frustrated at his failure to ease the Cold War that he had helped launch.
