The reverberations of the Cold War strategy of containment have echoed through American policy, culture, identity, and relationships with the rest of the world. These lasting effects have made it arguably the most significant political strategy of the 20th century. The mastermind behind this policy, which defined US policy toward the Soviet Union for four decades, was diplomat George F. Kennan. Yale University historian John Lewis Gaddis's portrait George Kennan: An American Life won the Pulitzer Prize in Biography this year and was more than 30 years in the making. Hailed as the "dean of Cold War historians" by the New York Times, Gaddis shares his unparalleled perspective on Kennan's titanic influence on American foreign policy.
John Lewis Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett professor of history at Yale University. His previous books include The United States and the Origins of the Cold War; Strategies of Containment; The Long Peace; We Now Know; The Landscape of History; Surprise, Security, and the American Experience; and The Cold War: A New History. His biography of George F. Kennan won the Pulitzer Prize in 2012.
