Summary:

Ten years ago, George Kennan, writing as "Mr. X," outlined the containment policy which in one form or another has been the basis of our approach to the Soviet Union. Now Mr. Kennan surveys the whole world scene and comes up with some startling suggestions -- military, political, economic, and ethical -- addressed to the individual consciences of his readers as well as to the governments representing them.

Contents:

Russia: The internal scene

The Soviet mind and world realities

The problem of Eastern and Central Europe

The military problem

The non-European world

Strengthening NATO: to what end?

Anglo-American relations.

Notes:

Two articles based on Chapters III, IV, V, and VI appeared in the February and March, 1958, issues of Harper's Magazine under the titles, "A chance to withdraw our troops in Europe" and "How can the West recover?"
