Summary

" The importance of Ýthe 1913¨ report for the world lies primarily in the light it casts on the excruciating situation prevailing today...to reveal to people of this age how much of today's problem has deep roots and how much does not. It will be easier to think of solutions when such realities are kept in mind." George F. Kennan (in the Introduction)
