George F. Kennan "Memoirs, 1925 to 1950." Volume I
George F. Kennan (born February 16, 1904, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.—died March 17, 2005, Princeton, New Jersey) was an American diplomat and historian best known for his successful advocacy of a “containment policy” to oppose criminal Soviet expansionism following World War II.
In 1933 Kennan accompanied U.S. ambassador William C. Bullitt to Moscow following U.S. recognition of the Soviet government.
Kennan’s views on containment were elucidated in a famous and highly influential article, signed “X,” that appeared in "Foreign Affairs" magazine for July 1947, analyzing in detail the structure and psychology of Soviet diplomacy.
Kennan returned to Moscow in 1952 as U.S. ambassador but came back to the United States the following year after the Russians declared him persona non grata for remarks he made about Soviet treatment of Western diplomats.
