Appartiene alle SerieGeorge F. Kennan: Memoirs (Volume 2) Elenchi di rilievo
Memoirs 1925-1950 published in 1967 covered twenty-five years George Kennan spent in Berlin, in Moscow, in Prague as a foreign Service officer before and during the war, and in Washington as an architect of foreign policy after it. Awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this volume was proclaimed "the single most valuable political book written by an American in the twentieth century." (The New Republic). This long and detailed account of twenty-five years of diplomatic history is written with extraordinary eloquence and lucidity. Mr. Kennan's portraits of Stalin, William Bullitt, Alexander Kirk, Harry Hopkins, General Marshall, Ambassador Harriman and Charles Bohlen are superbly drawn. George Kennan resumed his remarkable narrative in Memoirs 1950-1963, with his temporary retirement from public life and the commencement of his stay at Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study as a scholar and public commentator. For its portraits of Truman, Eisenhower, Acheson, Oppenheimer, Tito, McCarthy and others, and for its incisive analysis of the crucial issues of the twentieth century, George Kennan's Memoirs stand as an extraordinary political document as well as a distinguished American biography. The generous excerpts from his journals reveal his sensitivity to human details and his skill at evoking scenes and incidents from his travels in many lands.
