Description

Henry Kissinger's legacy continues to shape America's foreign policy. In "Kissinger's Shadow", historian Greg Grandin offers a nuanced and balanced account of the diplomat's life and influence. Grandin examines Kissinger's writings, secret recordings, and government documents to reveal how he helped revive a militarized version of American exceptionalism under Nixon. This approach anticipated the rise of neoconservative idealists who took America into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Grandin's book provides a compelling new interpretation of Kissinger's enduring impact on US foreign policy. By exploring both Kissinger's accomplishments and controversies, "Kissinger's Shadow" offers a thought-provoking analysis of the diplomat's lasting influence on American politics and international relations.
