Description
Niall Ferguson presents a riveting biography of Henry Kissinger's early life and rise to prominence as an adviser to US presidents. From his Jewish heritage in Hitler's Germany, to his experiences as a GI during World War II, and his studies at Harvard, Ferguson sheds light on the intellectual foundations that shaped Kissinger's worldview. The author draws on previously closed private papers and documents from over 100 archives worldwide to create an extraordinary panorama of Kissinger's life. This two-volume biography offers a paradigm-shifting reappraisal of Kissinger's legacy, challenging prevailing perceptions of his role in US foreign policy.
