 I’ll be sleeping in Wuxi tonight.

I found a George F Kennan book on the internet to read.  The book was  about the relationship between America and Revolutionary Russia from 1917 to 1920.  I was particularly interested in reading a book by Kennan  because I had heard, on a podcast, that he took a lot of time trying to write with stylish prose.  The podcast said  he was like Edward Gibbon.  Reading a few pages of the book above and I can testify that Kennan does write with a great literary style.

I was also interested in reading a Kennan book because his views were particularly reactionary.
