George F. Kennan is well known as the preeminent American expert on
the Soviet Union during the Cold War and the author of the doctrine
of containment. In Mr. X and the Pacific, Paul J. Heer chronicles
and assesses Kennan's work in affecting US policy toward East Asia.
Heer traces the origins, development, and bearing of Kennan's
strategic perspective on the Far East during his time as director
of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff from 1947 to 1950.
The author follows Kennan's career and evolution of his thinking as
he subsequently became a prominent critic of American participation
in the Vietnam War. Mr. X and the Pacific offers readers a new view
of Kennan, revealing his importance and the totality of his role in
East Asia policy, his struggle with American foreign policy in the
region, and the ways in which Kennan's legacy still has
implications for how the United States approaches the region in the
twenty-first century.
