Henry Kissinger served as National Security Advisor to President Richard Nixon and secretary of State in the administrations of presidents Nixon and Ford. In 1973 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating a settlement to the Vietnam War. He is the author of more than a dozen works on history and diplomacy. Today he is chairman of Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm.
Peter Robinson explores the global challenges confronting American today--from Iraq to Europe to Iran and the dangers of nuclear proliferation--with Kissinger, one of the country's most preeminent foreign policy practitioners. Kissinger asserts that the 1960s myth, that the U.S. government is somehow an evil enterprise, is alive and well. In this environment, he says, our leaders need to present a clear and educated vision of America's role in the world.
