Boston, Little, Brown and Co., 1967 Hard Cover
583 pages, cloth, dust jacket slightly frayed otherwise very good. The experiences of one of the most influential U.S. career diplomats and authority on the Soviet Union. From The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, George Frost Kennan, U.S. diplomat and historian, b. Milwaukee, Wis., grad. Princeton, 1925. After 1927 he served in various diplomatic posts in Europe, including Hamburg, Riga, Berlin, Prague, and Moscow. In 1947 he was on the policy-planning staff of the Dept. of State; later (1949-50) he was one of the chief advisers to Secretary of State Dean Acheson. He was appointed ambassador to the USSR in 1952, but was recalled at the demand of the Soviet government because of comments he made on the isolation of diplomats in Moscow and the campaign that Soviet propagandists were conducting against the United States. Retiring from the diplomatic service in 1953, he joined the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J., and from 1956 until 1974 was professor at its school of historical studies. He served (1961-63) as U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia. Kennan, who had helped formulate the Truman administration's policy of "containment" of the USSR, eventually became an advocate of withdrawal of U.S. forces from Western Europe and of Soviet forces from the satellite countries. His works include American Diplomacy, 1900-1950 (1951), Soviet-American Relations, 1917-1920 (2 vol., 1956-58), Russia and the West under Lenin and Stalin (1961), Nuclear Delusion (1982), and At a Century's Ending (1996).

| 9. | KENNAN, GEORGE F[ROST] Around the Cragged Hill: A Personal and Political Philosophy
New York W.W. Norton & Co., 1993 Soft Cover Very Good
272 pages, pictorial wrappers, very good. From Publishers Weekly Kennan airs controversial opinions in this book of personal and political reflections. Deeming the U.S. to be severely overpopulated, he dreams of a decentralized America broken into 12 constituent republics. He opposes forced desegregation of schools and urges U.S. leaders to adopt a modest foreign policy with a minimum of external involvement and large cutbacks in foreign aid. The goal, he stresses, should be to get our own house in order. We are a nation of bad social habits, he chides, citing the national addictions to television, the automobile and junk mail. To tap the wisdom of the citizenry, the eminent scholar-statesman (author of 18 books; former ambassador to the Soviet Union) calls for the creation of a Council of State, an advisory body to the federal government that would address public-policy issues. He also sets forth his thoughts on what he calls the demonic side of human nature, defined as our instinctive compulsion to sexual activity and the ego's endless search for reassurance.
