Over the past six decades, Henry Kissinger has been one of America’s most consistently praised―and reviled―public figures. Diplomatic historian and Distinguished Professor of History Political Science and European Studies at Vanderbilt University Thomas Schwartz’s new book “Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography” considers whether he was a master strategist or a cold-blooded monster who eroded America’s moral standing for the sake of self-promotion.
