| Summary: | "The Kremlinologist chronicles major events of the Cold War through the prism of the life of one of its top diplomats, Llewellyn Thompson. His life went from the wilds of the American West to the inner sanctums of the White House and the Kremlin. As the ambassador to Moscow, he became an important advisor to presidents and a key participant in major twentieth-century events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Yet, unlike his contemporaries McGeorge Bundy and George C. Marshall...who considered Thompson one of the most crucial actors in the Cold War and the "unsung hero" of the Cuban Missile Crisis...he has not been the subject of a major biography until now. Thompson's daughters Jenny Thompson Vukacic and Sherry Thompson set out to document their father's life as thoroughly as possible. Relying on primary sources and interviews, they received generous assistance from archivists, historians, and colleagues of their father. They also acquired documents and information from Russian archives, including the KGB archives. As family, they had unprecedented access to his FBI dossier, State Department personnel files, family archives, letters, diaries, speeches, and documents. Their original research brings new material to light including important information on the U-2, Kennan's containment policy, and Thompson's role in US covert operations machinery. The book refutes historical misinterpretations of events in the Berlin Crisis, the Austrian State Treaty, and the Cuban Missile Crisis."...Provided by publisher |

His life went from the wilds of the American West to the inner sanctums of the White House and the Kremlin. As the ambassador to Moscow, he became an important advisor to presidents and a key participant in major twentieth-century events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Yet, unlike his contemporaries McGeorge Bundy and George C. Marshall...who considered Thompson one of the most crucial actors in the Cold War and the "unsung hero" of the Cuban Missile Crisis...he has not been the subject of a major biography until now. Thompson's daughters Jenny Thompson Vukacic and Sherry Thompson set out to document their father's life as thoroughly as possible. Relying on primary sources and interviews, they received generous assistance from archivists, historians, and colleagues of their father. They also acquired documents and information from Russian archives, including the KGB archives. As family, they had unprecedented access to his FBI dossier, State Department personnel files, family archives, letters, diaries, speeches, and documents. Their original research brings new material to light including important information on the U-2, Kennan's containment policy, and Thompson's role in US covert operations machinery. The book refutes historical misinterpretations of events in the Berlin Crisis, the Austrian State Treaty, and the Cuban Missile Crisis."...Provided by publisher</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Thompson, Llewellyn</subfield><subfield code="d">1904-1972</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Thompson, Llewellyn</subfield><subfield code="d">1904-1972</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)124824501</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1939-1967</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ambassadors</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Cold War</subfield><subfield code="x">Diplomatic history</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Diplomats</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">World politics</subfield><subfield code="y">1945-1989</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Diplomatie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4012402-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="x">Foreign relations</subfield><subfield code="y">1945-1989</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="x">Foreign relations</subfield><subfield code="z">Soviet Union</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Soviet Union</subfield><subfield code="x">Foreign relations</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sowjetunion</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4077548-3</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4006804-3</subfield><subfield code="a">Biografie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Sowjetunion</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4077548-3</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Diplomatie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4012402-2</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1939-1967</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Thompson, Llewellyn</subfield><subfield code="d">1904-1972</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)124824501</subfield><subfield code="D">p</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Thompson, Sherry</subfield><subfield code="d">1949-</subfield><subfield code="e">Verfasser</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1159735875</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe, electronic</subfield><subfield code="z">978-1-4214-2410-1</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">LoC Fremddatenuebernahme</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030253066&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB Muenchen -
