In this epic dual biography, one of our most distinguished
scholars--the bestselling author of An Unfinished Life--probes the
lives and times of two unlikely leaders whose partnership dominated
American and world affairs and changed the course of history
Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were two of the most compelling,
contradictory, and important leaders in America in the second half
of the 20th century. Both were largely self-made men, brimming with
ambition, driven by their own inner demons, and often ruthless in
pursuit of their goals. Tapping into a wealth of recently
declassified documents and tapes, Robert Dallek uncovers
fascinating details about Nixon and Kissinger's tumultuous personal
relationship--their collaboration and rivalry--and the extent to
which they struggled to outdo each other in the reach of foreign
policy achievements. He also brilliantly analyzes their dealings
with power brokers at home and abroad, including the nightmare of
Vietnam, the brilliant opening to China, detente with the Soviet
Union, the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, the disastrous
overthrow of Allende in Chile, and growing tensions between India
and Pakistan, while recognizing how both men were continually
plotting to distract the American public's attention from the
growing scandal of Watergate. Authoritative, illuminating, and
deeply engrossing, Nixon and Kissinger provides a shocking new
understanding of the immense power and sway these two men held in
affecting world history.
