An epic biography of two unlikely leaders who came together to dominate American and world affairs

Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were two of the most compelling, contradictory, and important leaders in America in the second half of the twentieth century. Both were largely self-made men, brimming with ambition and often ruthless in pursuit of their goals.

Tapping into recently disclosed documents and taped, Robert Dallek uncovers fascinating details about Nixon and Kissinger's tumultuous personal relationship -- their collaboration and rivalry -- and the extent to which they struggled to outdo each other in the reach of foreign policy achievements. He also brilliantly analyses their dealings with power brokers at home and abroad, including the nightmare of Vietnam, the brilliant opening to China, detente with the Soviet Union, the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, the disastrous overthrow of Allende in Chile, and growing tensions between India and Pakistan, while recognising how both men were continually plotting to distract the American public's attention away from the growing scandal of Watergate.

Authoritative, illuminating, and deeply engrossing, 'Nixon and Kissinger' gives us a new understanding of just how important and consequential these two men were in affecting world history.
