About the book

George Kennan's private diaries provide a portrait of his life and times and the key cities and countries he served in as ambassador.

First sentence: It is a strange thing about cities: there are some which are simply collections of buildings-inanimate, impersonal things; and there are others, like Hamburg, which reach out for you, when you live in them, and spread the tentacles of their beauty and their evil quietly around you.
