This book provides a clear analysis of Kissinger's overall approach to making deals and resolving conflicts - expertise that holds powerful and enduring lessons. The authors crystallize the key elements of Kissinger's approach, based on in-depth interviews with the former secretary of state himself about some of his most difficult negotiations, an extensive study of his record, and many independent sources. The book mines the long and fruitful career of this elder statesman and shows how his strategies apply not only to contemporary diplomatic challenges but also to other reals of negotiations, including business, public policy, and law.

Dean Acheson was the most influential American diplomat of the twentieth century. He shaped the pivotal shift in American foreign policy from isolation to engagement in global affairs, This critical re-evaluation of Acheson's public career analyzes his advocacy of intervention against Germany and Japan in 1939-1941, work on sanctions against Japan in 1941, contribution to the creation of new international institutions, and campaigns to secure the support of Congress and the American public. It scrutinizes his crucial role in the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, NATO, the formation of democratic governments in Germany and Japan, and involvement in the Korean War. It examines his advice on Europe and Vietnam to presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. Acheson was the architect of the policy of containing the Soviet Union that endured to the end of the Cold War. The book argues that Acheson was slower to abandon the prospect of understandings with the Soviets and the communists in China than his memoirs claim; his focus on the North Atlantic did not exclude his deep concern for Asia; and the policy of containment was part of his wider belief that American power brought the obligation to promote a stable international order.

Comment un jeune immigré, polonais et catholique, devient-il le stratège de la plus grande puissance du inonde ? Que nous révèle son parcours des évolutions de la géopolitique des Etats-Unis ? Arrivé en 1938 par paquebot à New York alors qu'il a tout juste 10 ans, admis à Harvard en 1950, Zbigniew Brzezinski s'est rapidement fait connaître comme l'un des experts les plus influents des relations internationales et l'un des meilleurs soviétologues de son temps. Avec Henry Kissinger, il incarne cette génération d'intellectuels issus de l'"université de guerre froide" qui s'est imposée en politique étrangère contre l'establishment et la vieille élite WASP. Sa carrière fulgurante le propulsera à la Maison Blanche comme conseiller à la Sécurité nationale du président Jimmy Carter, autre outsider de la politique. Dès lors, il ne cessera plus d'être consulté par les présidents américains jusqu'à Barack Obama, et son autorité dans le débat international se fera sentir sur tous les dossiers importants de notre temps, de la guerre d'Afghanistan à la chute du mur de Berlin, de l'intervention en Irak à la montée en puissance de la Chine. Un document exceptionnel sur la politique étrangère américaine et sur l'une de ses personnalités les plus marquantes.
