Book Talk — Frank Costigliola on 'Kennan: A Life Between Worlds'

In his magnificent new biography, Kennan: A Life Between Worlds, Frank Costigliola paints a complex portrait of the fabled American diplomat, contrasting the rational realism he applied to US dealings with Russia and the world with the emotional turmoil in his professional and personal lives. Does Kennan’s experience offer lessons for contemporary Americans in our complex dealings with Russia and a changing world order?

To examine this questions and more, the Quincy Institute will host a discussion between Costigliola and George Beebe, Grand Strategy Director at the Quincy Institute.
