520 _aThe book examines Henry Kissinger’s career during Richard Nixon’s presidency (1969–1973), showing how he wielded immense influence over U.S. foreign policy. Hersh portrays him as a ruthless power operator, involved in the Vietnam War, secret bombings in Cambodia, the Chilean coup, and diplomatic maneuvers in China, India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. The focus of the book is the “price of power”: Kissinger’s secretive decisions had huge human and ethical costs. Hersh criticizes his cynical pragmatism, political manipulation, and tight control of information, revealing the darker side of wielding power on the global stage.
