Henry Kissinger summaries

3 summaries on Durar

Henry Kissinger, the American diplomat and scholar who served as Secretary of State, wrote about power from the inside, and his books are worth reading for the way they link the choices of statesmen to the long currents of history, whether or not a reader shares his judgments. Start with Leadership, where he draws on his personal acquaintance with figures such as Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew and Charles de Gaulle to show how vision and courage carried their nations through crisis, then move to World Order for the wider picture of how diplomacy, ideology and national interest have shaped relations between civilizations. Students of politics and history, young diplomats, and professionals in government or business across the region who want to understand how hard decisions are made under pressure will get the most from them.
