This well-preserved copy of George F. Kennan’s “Realities of American Foreign Policy” offers a fascinating window into the mind of one of the most influential diplomats and political theorists of the 20th century. Published in 1952, at the height of the Cold War, this work encapsulates Kennan’s nuanced and often contrarian views on the United States’ role in the world. As the architect of the famous “containment” policy toward the Soviet Union, Kennan’s insights into the geopolitical landscape of the time are invaluable. This book not only provides a historical record of his thought but also serves as a testament to his intellectual courage in challenging prevailing orthodoxies. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the opportunity to engage with Kennan’s incisive analysis and eloquent prose, which continue to shape debates on foreign policy to this day.
