At a century's ending
I read this book in particular because I wanted to know what the historian and former ambassador to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia thought of the turmoil of the late eighties and early nineties which culminated in the war in then my country. What I found in the book was a chapter with concise recent history of the Balkans. It did not quench my thirst which is more a compliment than a reproach to the author. Naturally, several chapters are dedicated to the Soviet Union / Russia. There, a reader of other works of Kennan will find some repetition, but I value his insights and educated opinions so much that it did not bother me at all. A relatively short paragraph on Ukraine is more telling than hundreds of recent news from this troubled country. This book might be a worthwhile overture into Kennan's work for uninitiated readers.
