Kindle ripoff
I am a devoted Kindle user, for all the obvious and often stated reasons. However, everyone buying this wonderful book about an actually important man, well written, informative, and insightful, should realize that for some obscure, petty, really sleazy reason, the Kindle version has NONE of the illustrations, mostly photographs, that grace the "real" edition. No images of the young Kennan just out of his crib, just out of Princeton, of his Norwegian relatives, of the embassy in Moscow: NOTHING. And, of course, no mention that you are paying for a bowdlerized version. This is truly shameful.
