The cloud of danger: Current realities of American foreign policy - Hardcover

This is the trenchant judgment of one of our most distinguished American diplomats. George Kennan entered into our Foreign Service fifty years ago. He was in administrative charge of our Berlin Embassy when Hitler declared war and interned him and his staff. He was the first diplomat we sent to the Soviet Union in 1932; his eight years in Russia culminated in his Ambassadorship. He has been the Ambassador to Yugoslavia and, as the former head of the State Department Policy Planning Staff, he has had to clarify our total position in world affairs. This book outlines his suggestions for foreign policy in the future.
