Once hailed as Super Kthe indispensable man whose advice has been sought by every president from Kennedy to Obamahe has also been hounded by conspiracy theorists, scouring his every telcon for evidence of Machiavellian malfeasance. Yet as Niall Ferguson shows in this magisterial two-volume biography, drawing not only on Kissingers hitherto closed private papers but also on documents from more than a hundred archives around the world, the idea of Kissinger as the ruthless arch-realist is based on a profound misunderstanding.The first half of Kissingers life is usually skimmed over as a quintessential tale of American ascent: the Jewish refugee from Hitlers Germany who made it to the White House. But in this first of two volumes, Ferguson shows that what Kissinger achieved before his appointment as Richard Nixons national security adviser was astonishing in its own right. Toiling as a teenager in a New York factory, he studied indefatigably at night. He was drafted into the U.S. infantry and saw action at the Battle of the Bulgeas well as the liberation of a concentration campbut ended his army career interrogating Nazis. It was at Harvard that Kissinger found his vocation. Having immersed himself in the philosophy of Kant and the diplomacy of Metternich, he shot to celebrity by arguing for limited nuclear war. Nelson Rockefeller hired him. Kennedy called him to Camelot. Yet Kissingers rise was anything but irresistible. Dogged by press gaffes and disappointed by Rocky, Kissinger seemed stuckuntil a trip to Vietnam changed everything.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 as consigliere to a politician he had always abhorred. Like Fergusons classic two-volume history of the House of Rothschild, Kissinger sheds dazzling new light on an entire era. The essential account of an extraordinary life, it recasts the Cold War world....2765193Kissinger254353https://www.gandhi.com.mx/kissinger-9780698195691/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2220564/33202d07-7f6e-4eeb-87d9-3380bdde390c.jpg?v=638383674969700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159780698195691_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9780698195691_From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower, the definitive biography of Henry Kissinger, based on unprecedented access to his private papers.Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book AwardNo American statesman has been as revered or as reviled as Henry Kissinger.
