exlibrary, usual library markings, text clean, binding tight, no jacket, small tears on spine, corners bumped, Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Henry Kissinger's massive, honest and frank memoir. Kissinger recalls his turbulent years serving in the Nixon Administration and gives a day-to-day account of how the Mideast war was transformed into the beginning of peace-making, and he recalls the worsening crisis at home which culminated in Nixon's resignation. Of great interest to the reader is Kissinger's candid appraisals of world leaders such as Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat, King Faisal, Chairman Mao, Soviet Union's Leonid Brezhnev, Germany's Willy Brandt & Helmut Schmidt, France's Georges Pompidou, Richard Nixon, and many more. A fascinating read about world affairs from a man who helped to shape them. Highly recommended.
