Over the course of his 101-year life, George F. Kennan—author of the “X” article, father of “containment,” and preeminent Cold War authority—filled 8,000 diary pages with philosophy, poetry, vivid description, and keen political and moral insights. Now, historian Frank Costigliola has masterfully selected and annotated the first-ever public collection of Kennan’s diaries.

These pages cover a man—and a remarkably talented writer—coming into greatness during the first stirrings of the Cold War and the nuclear arms race, a man never satisfied with his accomplishments despite the ambassadorships, the years of political influence, the Pulitzers and other accolades. They also give us a glimpse, in his final years, of one of our greatest statesmen during his most human moments. Together, these diaries tell the complete narrative of Kennan’s life, in his own intimate and unflinching words, and through him the arc of world events in the twentieth century.
