American Diplomacy SixtiethAnniversary Expanded Edition by George F Kennan

American Diplomacy SixtiethAnniversary Expanded Edition by George F Kennan

Offers an overview and critique of the foreign policy of an emerging great power whose claims to rightness often spill over into self-righteousness, whose ambitions conflict with power realities, whose judgmentalism precludes the interests of other states, and whose domestic politics frequently prevent prudent policies and result in overstretch.

"A book about foreign policy by a man who really knows something about foreign policy" (New York Times) "A classic foreign policy text." (Washington Post Book World) "These celebrated lectures, delivered at the University of Chicago in 1950, were for many years the most widely read account of American diplomacy in the first half of the twentieth century." (Foreign Affairs, Significant Books of the Last 75 Years)"

George F. Kennan (1905-2005) was an ambassador to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
