George F. Kennan's strategic thought was instrumental in the
formulation of the American grand strategy of containment of the
Soviet Union. As Dr. Russell points out, Kennan's strategic thought
was forged in the diplomatic practice and scholarship of the time.
Russell looks beyond containment, however, to sift through Kennan's
work to illuminate the worldview that informed his analysis of
international relations and American foreign policy.
Kennan's realist worldview contained principles for governing
American diplomacy and the use of force to achieve national
interests within the bounds set by the international competition
for power between nation-states. Kennan's worldview illuminates the
continuities of international politics that are often overlooked
because of the massive changes in the post-Cold War world.
Ironically, Kennan's worldview continues to provide a theoretical
footing for guiding American foreign policy after containment. This
is an important study for scholars, policymakers, and concerned
citizens interested in international relations, American foreign
policy, diplomatic history, and strategic studies.
