He is credited with being the architect of the American policy of containment toward the Soviet Union. Now the story of his profound influence and his complicated life has been told in a book written by John Lewis Gaddis, the noted historian of the Cold War who is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of History and Political Science and Distinguished Fellow in Grand Strategy at Yale. Professor Gaddis knew Kennan for decades, and was granted full access to his personal papers. He has produced a remarkable biography praised by critics and diplomats alike. Henry Kissinger has called it “magisterial” and “seminal.” Professor Gaddis will reveal the Kennan he came to know during this appearance in his subject’s hometown.http://mediasite.marquette.edu/Mediasite/Viewer/?peid=39f5530a5ccf431eb80a80e832085c861dWed, 09 May 2012 17:10:00 GMTMichael Gousha, Distinguished Fellow in Law and Public PolicyCongresswoman Baldwin has represented Wisconsin’s Second Congressional District since 1999.
