Omschrijving
"Kennan is a poet as well as a philosopher. The Russia of 1917 comes alive under his persuasive touches."---Harrison E. Salisbury, New York Times
"Kennan is a poet as well as a philosopher. The Russia of 1917 comes alive under his persuasive touches."---Harrison E. Salisbury, New York Times
"Reads like a first-rate historical novel. . . . A remarkable performance."---Bertram D. Wolfe, New York Herald Tribune
"Remarkably lucid and comprehensive. With substantial literary skill, [Kennan] has brought the whole somber picture marvelously to life."
"A work of great scholarship and perception. . . . So tangled a diplomatic story has never been more clearly told."
"This is live history, resurrected from the dead past by a man with profound understanding of the practical and theoretical side of world diplomacy."---Earl H. Voss, Washington Star
"Kennan has produced not only a unique diplomatic history, but an exciting piece of literature in which all the personalities come to life."
"A book of the first importance. . . . Brilliant."---Robert Blake, The Spectator
"Kennan’s carefully documented book contains brilliant pen-portraits of the American diplomats and would-be diplomats as well as of the Bolshevik leaders. . . . It abounds in dramatic episodes. . . . Offers many vital lessons for the present and the future."---Ernest S. Pisko, Christian Science Monitor
"Kennan’s book is both an outstanding literary achievement and a major contribution to the history of Soviet-American relations."---Michael Karpovich, American Political Science Review
"As a careful and thoughtful examination of a fateful period in human history and of the reaction of the United States to an overwhelming social phenomenon, this book has a substantial and a lasting value."---Dexter Perkins, American Historical Review
"A work of the greatest possible interest."---Max Beloff, Russian Review
