1973 was a seminal year in world history. The outbreak of the 'Yom
Kippur War' took both Israel and the US by surprise, the Vietnam
War finally ended, it was the year of detente with the Soviet
Union, but the US executive was in a state of collapse following
Watergate, and the year ended with the muslim initiated energy
crisis, which brought the Western world to the brink of economic
disaster - a story of deepest relevance today. 1973 was also very
much the year of Henry Kissinger, Nixon's National Security advisor
and later Secretary of State - possibly the most powerful in
American history, running US foreign policy in default of a 'lame
duck' president. It was also the year that Kissinger was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize. This book is the biography of Kissinger -
the first he has authorised - viewed through the events of this
crucial year. A story of his extraordinarily imaginative aims, his
near successes, and, as he admits, his ultimate failures.
