The Long Telegram (Encore)
Description
On February 22, 1946, George F. Kennan, a career diplomat working in the American embassy in Moscow, sent an 8,000-word cable to the State Department in Washington.
In it, he explained why the Soviet Union behaved as it did, outlining its unique combination of a communist ideology and historical Russian paranoia and suspicion.
He also gave a prescription for how the United States should respond.
Although he couldn’t have known it at the time, that message became the foundation for American policy during the Cold War.
