In this monumental work, Henry Kissinger explores the essence of diplomacy, offering a sweeping historical overview alongside personal accounts of his negotiations with global leaders. He examines how the art of diplomacy and the balance of power have shaped the world, highlighting the unique foreign policy pursued by Americans, influenced by their size, isolation, idealism, and skepticism toward the Old World. Covering over three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the contemporary "New World Order," Kissinger illustrates the evolution of modern diplomacy through the trials of warfare and peacemaking, emphasizing America's often perilous refusal to learn from history. His intimate portraits of leaders like de Gaulle, Nixon, Chou En-lai, Mao Tse-tung, Reagan, and Gorbachev provide a rare glimpse into high-level diplomacy, enriched by detailed observations of secret negotiations and statesmanship that have impacted global affairs. Analyzing national diplomatic styles, he reveals how different societies shape their foreign policies, particularly noting America's distinct idealistic approach. With insights drawn from his own experiences and candid accounts of pivotal diplomatic initiatives, Kissinger's work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding America's role on the world stage.
