About this listen

Some historians think that George Kennan wrote one of the most important documents of the 20th century, and yet few people have heard of him. The Long Telegram included the word ‘containment’, which shaped American foreign policy for decades. The Truman Doctrine epitomises this foreign policy; this episode explores how important this was in shaping the Cold War.
