Description

First Edition. 8vo - over 7æ" - 9æ" tall. "From George Kennan's private diaries of the last sixty years, this book represents a remarkable personal quest to understand his life and the meaning of his times through esquisitely etched portraits of the key cities and countries in which he served." George F. Kennan, a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, is the author of some eighteen books on Russia and the Soviet Union, the nuclear issue, and diplomatic history. There is a marvelous photo of a very mature Kennan on the front cover. ".He was in Berlin and Hamburg as the Nazis rose to power; in Prague at the time of the Nazi-Soviet pact. He was the first American diplomat to enter Paris during the Nazi occupation. Here are his descriptions of travels through Russia at the height of the Stalinist purges." and much more just as interesting. This book has 364 pages.
