Henry Kissinger : an intimate portrait of the master of Realpolitik

Gallon, Jérémie, 1985-2025
Books
Gallon paints an intriguing portrait of the 'master of Realpolitik', drawing lessons from Kissinger's life and actions to explore the creation of a more coherent and resilient foreign policy, particularly in Europe. Chapters address themes, moments, and characters that shaped Kissinger's career. This new English edition includes an additional chapter detailing the author's meeting with Kissinger in Connecticut ten days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Gallon is as interested in the statesman as he is in the man himself, delving into the more glamorous and intimate aspects of his life, yet making no secret of Kissinger's contradictions and the moral accusations levelled against him.
