George Kennan for Our Time examines the work and thought of the most distinguished American diplomat of the twentieth century and extracts lessons for today. In his writings and lectures, Kennan outlined the proper conduct of foreign policy and issued warnings to an American society on the edge of the abyss.
Lee Congdon identifies the principles Kennan applied to US relations with Russia and Eastern Europe, and to the Far and Near East. He takes particular note of Kennan's role in formulating postwar policy in Japan, measured response to North Korea's invasion of South Korea, and opposition to the war in Vietnam. Congdon also considers Kennan's strong criticisms of his own country, its egalitarianism, unrestricted immigration, and multiple addictions. He cites Kennan's call for a greater closeness to nature, a revival of religious faith, and a return to the representative government established by the Founding Fathers.
George Kennan for Our Time describes the often-disastrous results of rejecting Kennan's counsel, and the dangers, international and national, posed by an ongoing failure to draw upon his wisdom. In view of America's foreign policy disasters in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, Kennan's realist approach provides important lessons for our current age.

Описание: Felix Martin awakes to what he has been waiting for all his life: for civilization to finally meet its destiny. A massive explosion in the west by what, no one knows. Multiple presumed nuclear attacks in almost every major city. An airborne zootoxic infection that has manipulated the very genetic physiology and physical characteristics of the infected. And an entire country experiencing true freedom for once in its existence. Felix navigates the ash-covered and quiet remnants of the United States, coming across friends and survivors along the way and derailing his futile attempts to find out for himself his fiancee`s disposition. To find out what happened to her. However, the universe has other plans. Gangs and false flags, the true evil of what a human being can do to another, are all distractions as he fights onward. Catching the attention of those responsible for the infection further guides him down a dark path. In his travels, he finds that what is coming is far greater than reality, ending up in Fort Monroe, Virginia, where all that remains is gathering just outside that old fort`s walls. He slowly lets himself ride that spiral as far as it goes, down into that maddening dark place only the fallen know. With secrets all about him and a new fascist remnant of the old government on the rise, he merely smears his face with a jagged grin all the while being chased by the queen of the feral and something far older than even the light. The Black Dog watches as Felix slowly loses himself when he finds out he is no longer just a man. He leaves his humanity behind because after all, monsters deserve to kill monsters. Regardless the trial or adversary, it wasn`t his world that ended.

"A charming tale of two delightful ladies in the twilight of their lives. Come, let us take this rare opportunity to step into their home and discover the wonders of their grand antebellum manor. One should never refuse the chance for afternoon tea and the occasion for potentially spirited, and engaging conversation that most often comes with it. After all, hospitality is one of many facets that make the South truly genteel - to decline such a delightful invitation simply would be rude."
With dark humor, dry wit, tongue-in-cheek nods to queer culture, and a liberal helping of mildew, Michael Congdon sentences the reader to sixty delightfully moribund minutes with two old horrible old women and their nicotine-addicted cat.
The plague of 2020 provided the apt incentive for the series of vivid, Earl Grey-soaked descriptions which combine to create the single hour of decaying Southern Gothic which is Miss Haverly & Miss Cavendish. Artist Marie Gagnon's illustrations enhance this quintessential experience of black mold, dry rot, and imminent doom.
Michael Congdon is slowly and stubbornly working to establish himself as an author of multiple genres. His first publication was the 2005 cookbook, S.O.U.P.S., followed mere fifteen years later with It Is Best to Die In Your Sleep, a collection of essays, short stories, recipes, and pornographic farce.

Описание: This selection of short plays is a companion to Kirby Congdons one-act collection of plays, "God is Dead (Again)". At age eighty-seven, Congdon continues in his persistent quest for human understanding. He explores the meaning of life through a variety of existential questions and scenarios played out within the fourteen plays that comprise this collection. Kirby Congdon is one of those rare talents who is able to use a variety of mediums to express his artistic vision. This book represents the dramatic level in his search for enlightenment. Indeed, he blurs the lines between drama and poetry -- lines that have never been that clear anyway -- by using dialogue in his poems and lyrical values in his plays. The reader is taken on a thoughtful and entertaining trip from the personal world of self exploration to more universal commonalities of mans existence. "Here We Are" sparkles with Parkersonian wit.

Описание: "Kirbys contributions to the concept of "The Poet", was more than just the publications of some 300 separate poems, with reprints in magazines and anthologies making a total of over 780 poems published to date. Indeed, his life and his contributions, in both poetry and prose,have become a living symbol of a chosen vocation, that of the vision of the Poet as a philosopher of the human condition. True, his poems remain his first concern, but the reader of this bibliography will find that Kirby Congdon was not just a writer of poetry, he was also a student and a judge of poetry and its place in todays world"
