Definitive biography of a controversial statesman.

If you're intrigued by history, power, and the complexities of international diplomacy, "Kissinger" will offer you an arresting perspective.

Description

No American statesman has been as revered or as reviled as Henry Kissinger. Once hailed as the “indispensable man” whose advice shaped U.S. policy from Kennedy to Obama, he has also faced persistent conspiracy theories. In this two-volume biography, Niall Ferguson draws on Kissinger’s hitherto closed private papers and on documents from more than a hundred archives around the world to argue that the image of Kissinger as ruthless arch-realist rests on a misunderstanding. The first volume traces Kissinger’s life from a Jewish refugee in Germany to a leading Harvard scholar and rising public figure. It covers his wartime service, his early intellectual formation in Kant and Metternich, and his ascent to power during the Cold War. The narrative is a political Bildungsroman, explaining how a controversial adviser to a politician he once opposed became a pivotal statesman. Like Ferguson’s acclaimed two-volume history, this work sheds new light on an era and reframes the Cold War years.
