Kissinger. The Idealist: 1923-1968

The Idealist is the story of one of the most important strategic thinkers America has ever produced. It is also a political bildungsroman, explaining how "Dr. Strangelove" ended up a consigliere to a politician he had always abhorred. Like Ferguson´s classic two-volume history of the House of Rothschild, Kissinger sheds dazzling new light on an entire era. The essential account of an extraordinary ife, it recasts the Cold War world.
