Description

|
|
|
In this New York Times bestseller Robert Dallek uncovers details about the tumultuous personal relationship between two of the most compelling, contradictory, and powerful figures in recent American history. He analyzes the roles that Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger shared in monumental historic events, including the nightmare of Vietnam, the unprecedented opening to China, détente with the Soviet Union, the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, the disastrous overthrow of Allende in Chile, and the scandal of Watergate. "Dallek paints a vivid portrait of two clever, insecure men, each wanting a place in history."—Washington Post Book World "Dallek's book is a reminder that human beings can behave at their worst while seeking to realize the noblest aspirations."—Newsweek "Engrossing…. Dallek has succeeded in drawing a compelling portrait of the two men while analyzing the momentous consequences their foreign policy decisions had on America and the world."—NYTimes
