Riassunto

Perhaps the best-known American diplomatist of the twentieth century, Henry Kissinger is a major figure in world history, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and arguably one of the most brilliant minds ever placed at the service of American foreign policy, as well as one of the shrewdest, best-informed, and most articulate men ever to occupy a position of power in Washington.

The eagerly awaited third and final volume of his memoirs completes a major work of contemporary history. It is at once an important historical document and a brilliantly told narrative of almost Shakespearean intensity, full of startling insights, unusual (and often unsparing) candor, and a sweeping sense of history. Years of Renewal is the triumphant conclusion of a major achievement and a book that will stand the test of time as a historical document of the first rank.

Recensione:

John Lewis Gaddis The New York Times Book Review A remarkable achievement.

Josef Joffe The Wall Street Journal A style that simply outclasses the normal fare served up by former people of power....An engrossing book, truly hard to put down.

Richard Bernstein The New York Times Mr. Kissinger's history of his own time in office is a work whose breadth, clarity of vision and historical scope amply justify its size. It is an event, a likely classic of its genre.

Craig Eisendrath The Philadelphia Inquirer Kissinger's engagingly written chronicle of these years is rich in detail and insight, a "must read" for foreign policy mavens.

Brian VanDeMark The Boston Sunday Globe Well-crafted...ambitious, all-embracing....It is a complex and human self-portrait drawn by a proud, intelligent, and reflective man.
