Specificatii
A new account of America's most controversial diplomat that moves
beyond praise or condemnation to reveal Kissinger as the architect
of America's current imperial stanceIn this fascinating book
Kissinger's Shadow, acclaimed historian Greg Grandin argues that to
understand the crisis of contemporary America--its never-ending
wars abroad and political polarization at home--we have to
understand Henry Kissinger.Examining Kissinger's own writings, as
well as a wealth of secret recordings and government documents,
many of them recently declassified, Grandin reveals how Nixon's top
foreign-policy adviser helped to revive a militarized version of
American exceptionalism centered on an imperial presidency--even as
he was presiding over defeat in Vietnam and a disastrous, secret,
and illegal war in Cambodia. Believing that reality could be bent
to his will, insisting that intuition is more important in
determining policy than hard facts, and vowing that past mistakes
should never hinder bold action in the future, Kissinger
anticipated, even enabled, the ascendance of the neoconservative
idealists who took America into crippling wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq.Going beyond accounts focusing on either Kissinger's crimes or
accomplishments, Kissinger's Shadow by Greg Grandin offers a
compelling new interpretation of the diplomat's continuing
influence on how the United States views its role in the world.
