Uncertain Trumpet

George F. Kennan’s lectures over the BBC last year caused a great deal of excitement. This reviewer gained the impression that Mr. Kennan had made a whole set of reckless proposals along Soviet “lines.” Upon reading the text of these lectures as now published in book form (Russia, the Atom and the West, Harper, $2.50) , it becomes clear that his views were misrepresented, provided we consider this text to be authentic and provided also we disregard other utterances by the author.
