SUBJECT: The Cold War 1945-1963
"...the United States has it in its power to increase
enormously the strains under which Soviet policy must
operate, to force upon the Kremlin a far greater degree
of moderation and circumspection than it has had to
observe in recent years, and in this way to promote
tendencies which must eventually find their outlet in
either the breakup or the gradual mellowing of Soviet
power."
George Kennan
