Sketches from a Life

Sketches from a Life

<p><strong>Written originally as a series of entries in a travel diary and now considered one of the most important memoirs of our time, <em>Sketches from a Life</em> is George F. Kennan's peerless, impressionistic record of his experiences with twentieth-century history.</strong></p> Beginning with his first foreign service post in 1927 and ending seven decades later, Kennan's account is rich with the insight of a major historical participant. Whether relating the perils of Hitler's Germany or revisiting Kennan's days as ambassador to the Soviet Union, <em>Sketches from a Life</em> is as riveting as great literature, and one of the most invaluable documents of our time.
