America needed to embrace a new era of covert warfare
[edit]Added to page:
- Communists have a “strong position in Europe, so immensely superior to our own . . . through unabashed and skillful use of lies. They have fought us with unreality, with irrationalism. Can we combat this unreality successfully with rationalism, with truth, with honest, well-meant economic assistance?" No, America needed to embrace a new era of covert warfare to advance her democratic objectives against Soviet deceit.
- George Kennan, National War College Address, December 1947, quoted in International Herald Tribune, May 28, 1997
