The life of Henry Kissinger seen through one seminal year - 1973.'In his masterly new book, distinguished historian Sir Alistair Horne spotlights the man at the epicentre of the events that shook the decade' Andrew Roberts'Compelling ... brilliantly analysed ... the fascinating story is retold with vigour and shrewdness' DAILY TELEGRAPH'A fun and lively book: at its best, it casts new light on the peculiar relationship between Nixon and Kissinger, the ultimate "odd couple" ' SUNDAY TIMES1973 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 détente 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. 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.
