През 1973 година Хенри Кисинджър става държавен секретар на Съединените американски щати, но още преди това той се е превърнал в най-обичаната личност в Америка и една от най-малко вероятните знаменитости, които някога са пленявали света. И все пак по време на вълнуващия си живот Кисинджър бе често хулен и то от големи групи от американската общественост - от либерални интелектуалци до консервативни активисти.

Въз основа на обширни интервюта с Кисинджър, както и на 150 други източници, включително президенти на ... |
