Kissinger, Henry Crisis: The Anatomy of Two Major Foreign Policy Crises
Simon & Schuster 2003 0743249100 / 9780743249102 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy. Price inside dustcover: $30.00. NO price clippings. Small remainder mark on bottom. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages. 564 pages. - By drawing upon hitherto unpublished transcripts of his telephone conversations during the Yom Kippur War (1973) and the last days of the Vietnam War (1975), Henry Kissinger reveals what goes on behind the scenes at the highest levels in a diplomatic crisis. The two major foreign policy crises in this book, one successfully negotiated, one that ended tragically, were unique in that they moved so fast that much of the work on them had to be handled by telephone. The longer of the two sections deals in detail with the Yom Kippur War and is full of revelations, as well as great relevancy: In Kissinger's conversations with Golda Meir, Israeli Prime Minister; Simcha Dinitz, Israeli ambassador to the U.S.; Mohamed el-Zayyat, the Egyptian Foreign Minister; Anatoly Dobrynin, the Soviet Ambassador to the U.S.; Kurt Waldheim, the Secretary General of the U.N.; and a host of others, as well as with President Nixon, many of the main elements of the current problems in the Middle East can be seen. The section on the end of the Vietnam War is a tragic drama, as Kissinger tries to help his president and a divided nation through the final moments of a lost war. It is full of astonishing material, such as Kissinger's trying to secure the evacuation of a Marine company which, at the very last minute, is discovered to still be in Saigon as the city is about to fall, and his exchanges with Ambassador Martin in Saigon, who is reluctant to leave his embassy. This is a book that presents perhaps the best record of the inner workings of diplomacy at the superheated pace and tension of real crisis. From The Critics The New York Times What emerges is a vivid portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential statesmen operating at full tilt and in the full glow of his power -- in rapid kaleidoscopic sequence and in various mixtures cajoling, reassuring, flattering, delaying, smoking out and threatening Soviet, Israeli, Egyptian, British and United Nations diplomats, soothing the concerns of senators, parrying bureaucratic intruders, and periodically updating a distracted and detached President Richard M. Nixon embroiled in the constitutional crisis of Watergate In the end, these transcripts are interesting less for what they reveal about the dynamics of crisis diplomacy than for their insightful detail about one of this country's most complex and controversial diplomats and the times he inhabited.

Kissinger, Henry Years of Upheaval
Little Brown & Company 1982 0316285919 / 9780316285919 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good + Near-Fine
Nice, clean condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. Tight spine, clean pages. Heavy book - 1,283 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Illustrated throughout with photos. In Years of Upheaval Henry Kissinger recalls the turbulent years of the second Administration of Richard Nixon, which began on 20 January 1973. Two momentous events and their consequences dominate this account: the Watergate scandal, and the 1973 October war in the Middle East. The books opens at the Western White House on a summer afternoon in August of that year, when Dr Kissinger is told by the President during a poolside conversation that he is to become Secretary of State. The memories that follow are a rich compendium of his experiences in the months before and after appointment: an eerie trip to Hanoi shortly after the Vietnam cease-fire; efforts to settle the war in Cambodia; two Nixon-Brezhnev summits and the controversy over detente; the Shah of Iran; the oil crisis and the efforts to covercome it; the US airlift to Israel and the military alert during the Middle East war; the origins of shuttle diplomacy; the fall of Salvador Allende in Chile; and the events surrounding Nixon's resignation. His frank portrait of Nixon's last days is perhaps the most perceptive to date At once illuminating, fascinating, and profound, Years of Upheaval is a lasting contribution to the history of our time, by one of its chief protagonists.
