Kissinger: 1923-1968: The Idealist

📘 "Ferguson makes the case for Kissinger being more than just an amoral Machiavellian diplomat who pursued cynical realpolitik. In fact, he was an idealist who had freedom at the centre of his worldview".

Robbie Millen, The Times, Books of the Year

"This is a superb history of the modern world as well as a biography of Kissinger... a tour de force".

Wiuiam Shawcross, The Times

"Definitive... reveals his subject as nothing like the calculating cold fish of legend".

Marcus Tanner, Independent
