While arguing how the section of the network of international relations involving Russia and France resonated with the decline of an international order dominated by Germany, the former Ambassador to the Soviet Union takes each document with a careful, critical view of its contribution to the story.
Many is the time the author says that the writer of that memo, Giers for example [longtime foreign minister of Russia] couldn't possibly be speaking for himself; it would be out of the question for Giers to express such views without being told to have done so by his master the tsar. Kennan then stops the narrative and casts about for the truth of the matter, given that from what we know we have just been given a whopper.
Oh, it's beautiful.

レビュー
"Mr. Kennan takes full advantage of the colorful opportunities that the Franco-Russian romance presents. He has not only advanced our knowledge significantly by impressive research; he presents his results with great skill; he writes beautifully, harmoniously, and vividly. He is at his best when revealing how human frailties played havoc with national interests."---Theodore Zeldin, The New York Times Book Review
"Our former Ambassador to Russia and Yugoslavia brings to this study the attributes of a seasoned diplomat, historian, and linguist. With admirable clarity and fluency, Kennan . . . untangles the skein of European and Balkan politics of the late 1800s . . . and traces the rise of nationalism and militarism which led to W.W.I." ― Publishers Weekly
"The world which George Kennan describes with great elegance and skill and with much lively atmospheric detail is the world of traditional nineteenth-century diplomacy. . . . The great achievement of George Kennan's book is that he uses his scholarship and his extensive knowledge of the large body of secondary literature on the Franco-Russian Alliance to remind us how high diplomacy of the late nineteenth century looked to contemporaries."---James Joll, The New York Review of Books
"This is a serious historical volume, but the people it involves, those who influenced or controlled Franco-Russian relations from 1875 to 1890, are . . . a most astonishing set of zanies, scalawags, and fanatics, all vividly characterized by Mr. Kennan." ― The Atlantic Monthly

An exhaustive account of the slow breakup of the fragile European political order put together by Bismarck. Kennan, as a Russian expert, concentrates on documenting the slow drift of Tsar Alexander III and the Russian political class from a tenuous alliance with Germany to withdrawal and opposition. The surprise here, for me, was that the system came apart before William II became Kaiser and dismissed Bismarck.
Another surprise was that as far back as the 1880s the Balkans were a critical area of conflict for Russia and Austria-Hungary. Although the Balkans held almost no interest for Bismarck, he assumed that the continued existence of Austria-Hungary as a "Great Power" was crucial to the maintenance of German security.
Bismarck also believed that a war between Russia and Austria-Hungary ran the large risk of the destruction of one or both of the monarchies. There is a hint that a war might even be a threat to the German monarchy and even the recent German federation he had cobbled together.
There are two valuable aspects to this book. The first is that this history gives a different perspective on the political factors leading up to World War I. The recent books on this topic concentrate on the immediate years before the war. They now appear to me to be incomplete, and somewhat misleading, in their analysis and conclusions. The second lessons is indirect. George Kennan is famous as the primary architect of American foreign policy at the beginning of the Cold War. He retired later to write a number of books. I think this book, and its sequel, are an attempt by Kennan to look back to find the deep roots of Russian and Soviet foreign policy. A key conclusion is his insistence that a national psychology is a crucial input into Russian decisions. If he is right, if this psychological continuity exists, then this book is relevant to understanding current, and probably future, Russian foreign policy.
