David Landau presents a sharp, unflinching portrait of a man who transformed the machinery of diplomacy, wielding power with calculated precision across the Nixon administration's most consequential decisions. Drawing on extensive research, the narrative details Kissinger's strategic manoeuvring through the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union, and the opening of relations with China, arguing that his approach to statecraft was as much about the accumulation of personal influence as it was about national interest. Written with the incisive authority of a seasoned political journalist, the account illustrates how ambition, intellect, and realpolitik combined to make Kissinger a defining — and deeply polarising — architect of modern American power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888030200027,"sku":"2026200007059-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/96fadf53-c050-4849-90a9-668a72727d6e.png?v=1781753332","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007059-secondhand-kissinger-the-uses-of-power","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
