Book Overview
" Henry Kissinger and American Power] effectively separates the man from the myths." --The Christian Science Monitor (Best Books of the Month)
The definitive biography of Henry Kissinger--at least for those who neither revere nor revile him.
Over the past six decades, Henry Kissinger has been one of America's most lavishly praised--and most reviled--public figures. He was hailed as a "miracle worker" for his peacemaking in the Middle East, pursuit of d tente with the Soviet Union, negotiation of an end to the Vietnam War, and secret plan to open the United States to China. He was assailed from both the left and the right for his complicity in the pointless sacrifice of American and Vietnamese lives, indifference to human rights, and reliance on deception and intrigue. Was he a brilliant master strategist--the "20th century's greatest 19th-century statesman" (Robert Kaplan, The Atlantic)--or a cold-blooded monster who eroded America's moral standing for the sake of self-promotion?
