This third & final volume of memoirs completes a major work of contemporary history & a brilliantly told narrative full of startling insights, candour & a sweeping sense of history. It begins with the resignation of Nixon
- including Kissinger's final assessment of Nixon's tortured personality & the self-inflicted tragedy that ended his presidency, making Kissinger, for a time, the most powerful man in American government. This book abounds in crisis
- Vietnam, Watergate, the Cold War. Here are brilliant scenes, as only an insider could write them, of the high-level meetings that shaped American foreign policy, the famous 'shuttle' diplomacy by which Kissinger succeeded in bringing a reluctant & wary Rabin & anxious Sadat together to begin to return of the Sinai to Egypt & the SALT talks with the Soviet Union that began the process of nuclear limitation.
