George F. Kennan's Strategic Thought
Editorial Reviews
Review
“...Richard Russell's new book...is so profoundly important, even to those who felt that they knew Kennan. Russell's superb research and crisp style bring out the essence of Kennan's philosophies at a time when they are particularly needed by strategists and foreign policy officials around the world....This book is ot only important for all students and practitioners of strategic affairs in the U.S., it is equally vital to those in all other countries.”–
“Historians will benefit greatly from the cogent and highly readable volume, which skillfully blends extensive quotations from Kennan's voluminous writings with learned analysis....this volume is a "must read" for all scholars looking for a comprehensive account of Kennan's strategic thinking, and they can ignore it only at great risk.”–
Book Description
George F. Kennan's strategic thought was instrumental in the formulation of the American grand strategy of containment of the Soviet Union. As Dr. Russell points out, Kennan's strategic thought was forged in the diplomatic practice and scholarship of the time. Russell looks beyond containment, however, to sift through Kennan's work to illuminate the worldview that informed his analysis of international relations and American foreign policy.
