First Paperback Edition, Second Printing "Drawing upon a wealth of original research, David Mayers' fascinating biography of George Kennan examines his high-level participation in foreign policy-making and interprets his political and philosophical development within a historical framework. Mayers presents an engaging and lucid account of Kennan's training; his rise to prominence during the late 1940s and his policy failures; and his later roles as critic of America's external policy, advocate of détente with the Soviet Union, and proponent of nuclear arms limitation. Mayers also explores Kennan's complicated relationships with such important political figures and analysts as Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles, and Walter Lippmann" [from the back cover] ISBN: 019506318X Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked; some scattered tiny upper corner creasing, barely noticeable and not impacting the text; back cover with lower corner creasing.
