[EAN: 9780316482219], Near Fine, [PU: Little Brown & Company], Jacket, Large Size Book.Kissinger looks at both the image and the reality, the freewheeling global lion-tamer and the spotlight-shunning private individual. The Kalbs explore Kissinger's famous charm and candor that dazzle opponents- without telling them a thing; the mocking self-deprecation that lightly covers a broad delight in power; the distrust of bureaucracy that early on influenced his solitary, virtuoso style of diplomacy. They dig into Kissinger's past to trace the history of his early years in an increasingly hostile Germany; his emigration, family, education, and brilliant early career at Harvard; and his progression, through four presidencies, from the fringes of governmental power to its very center. They examine the method and meaning of Kissinger's foreign policy maneuvers: the roller-coaster negotiations over Vietnam, where moods oscillated, as one reporter put it, "from deepest optimism to soaring pessimism"; the discreet signals and meetings that resulted in the exhilarating China and Russia breakthroughs- and Kissinger's emergence as a superstar; the whirlwind "Henry of Arabia" Mideast talks; the personal crises over the bombing of Hanoi and Kissinger's "tilting" toward Pakistan in the India-Pakistan war; the international and domestic repercussions of Watergate. Kissinger gives the intimate details of the Secretary's one-to-one conferences with Brezhnev, Dobrynin, Sadat, Meir, Mao, Chou, and Thieu. It describes Kissinger's sometimes bitter skirmishes with colleagues such as William Rogers and John Connally, his uneasy and often antagonistic relationships with the "gray" men of Nixon's circle, and his unique linkage with Nixon himself. It gives us the complete Kissinger as we have never seen him before, the young would-be accountant who became, as he has been called, "the second most powerful man in the world," the Jew who was kissed on both cheeks by an Egyptian president and called "brother." It is a masterful study of a singular personality and of the world events that he helped shape., Books<
