His extraordinary achievements include serving as Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford and as National Security Advisor for six years. In these capacities, Dr. Kissinger was a key negotiator for the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Having spent much of the 1970s and 1980s in or near the corridors of power, practicing realpolitik at the State Department and National Security Council, Dr. Kissinger presents his own analysis of the special challenges the U.S. faces in the new century.
