"In this book, George Kennan, who rose more rapidly than any American diplomat of his generation, describes eloquently and critically his alternating careers as a diplomat and historian in the years 1959-1963. The book begins with the request for a leave of absence from the American State Department where under President Truman he had been head of the Policy Planning Staff.

This book re-creates that unhappily memorable storythe arrival of British marines at Murmansk, the diplomatic maneuvering, the growing Russian hostility, the uprising of Czechoslovak troops in central Siberia which threatened to overturn the Bolsheviks, the acquisitive ambitions of the Japanese in Manchuria, and finally the decision by President Wilson to intervene with American troops. Of this period Kennan writes, "Never, surely, in the history of American diplomacy, has so much been paid for so little"." (Publisher), 1989, 0<
