George Kennan was the architect of America’s Cold War strategy, but he remained an outsider who for half a century was one of the most outspoken critics of his country’s foreign policy. His doctrine of containment offered an intermediate approach between appeasement and confrontation, but took on military connotations that left Kennan frustrated. Join us as we look at the life and legacy of George Kennan.
