Books by Henry Kissinger

Henry Kissinger (1923–2023) served as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for negotiations that ended American military involvement in Vietnam, a decision that remains controversial. Born in Germany, he fled Nazi persecution and emigrated to the United States in 1938. He received his PhD from Harvard, where he later taught, and wrote A World Restored (1957) on the Congress of Vienna before entering government. After leaving office he founded Kissinger Associates and continued writing and advising governments until his death at the age of 100.
