The article focuses on the book "The Cold War," by Walter Lippmann. This book is a study of the U.S. foreign policy. The article is attributed to X, who is generally believed to be George F. Kennan, director of the Policy Planning Staff of the Department of State. Lippmann concentrates on what he considers to be the specific thesis of X and, by implication, of the State Department, namely, that the task of United States foreign policy is to "contain" the Soviet Union. To Lippmann this implies the use of American military might along the land frontiers of European and Asiatic Russia.
