• Statesmanship -- Setting the scene -- Opening to China -- The Nixon-Mao Summit -- Seeking stability with the Soviet Union -- Searching for peace in Vietnam -- Breakthrough and the Paris Accords -- Initial advances in the Middle East -- Negotiating styles and personal profiles -- The foreign policy process -- Strategy.

• "In a series of riveting interviews, America's senior statesman discusses the challenges of directing foreign policy during times of great global tension. As National Security Advisor to Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger transformed America's approach to diplomacy with China, the USSR, Vietnam, and the Middle East, laying the foundations for geopolitics as we know them today. Nearly fifty years later, escalating tensions between the US, China, and Russia are threatening a swift return to the same diplomatic game of tug-of-war that Kissinger played so masterfully. Kissinger on Kissinger is a series of faithfully transcribed interviews conducted by the elder statesman's longtime associate, Winston Lord, which captures Kissinger's thoughts on the specific challenges that he faced during his tenure as NSA, his general advice on leadership and international relations, and stunning portraits of the larger-than-life world leaders of the era. The result is a frank and well-informed overview of US foreign policy in the first half of the 70s -- essential reading for anyone hoping to understand tomorrow's global challenges." --
