Back to Diplomats and Diplomacy
Cold War Saga
“This is an invaluable eye-witness account of the diplomatic fronts of the Cold War, a great resource for scholars, and a wonderful tale for those of us who love history.” ––WALTER ISAACSON, Aspen Institute President and CEO

Kempton Jenkins, a thirty-year career Foreign Service officer, was actively involved in US-Soviet relations and East European affairs from 1950 on. A graduate of Bowling Green, George Washington, and Harvard, he was also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.
