Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy
“Leaders,” writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, “think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.”
In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls “the strategy of humility.” Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by “the strategy of will.” During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by “the strategy of equilibrium.” After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a “strategy of transcendence.” Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by “the strategy of excellence.” And, though Britain was known as “the sick man of Europe” when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country’s morale and international position by “the strategy of conviction.”
To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and—because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes—personal knowledge. Leadership is enriched by insights and judgements that only Kissinger could make and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

Zelenskyy put this guy in his box.
Kissinger spoke at Davos in favour of appeasing Putin thru sacrifice of Ukrainian territory.
It’s all about big power diplomacy. He hasn’t changed.
Zelenskyy said that Henry was emerging “from the deep past.”
“It seems that Mr. Kissinger’s calendar is not 2022, but 1938, and he thought he was talking to an audience not in Davos, but in Munich of that time.”
He’s like one of those movie presidents, y’know, telling it like what it is.
A dazed Kissinger possibly responded by ass-erting “Who has two “Y’s” at the end of their name anyway? I mean to say, come on.” Henry’s humiliation was multipolar.
However, Adenauer was one of the greats.

Thank you. With airheads like Zelensky, Biden, Johnson, Macron and Trudeau, to name a few, the world sure needs some lessons on ‘leadership.’

With the questionable inclusion of apparent lightweights like Zelenskyy(!) - who is currently the target, along with his family, in a brutal Russian invasion - don’t neglect steering wheel-grasping lunatics such as Donald. Also, no criticism of Putin?

Never thought I’would say that but I agree with Kissinger. He’s still a war criminal, but in a world full of Bidens, Zelenskys e Johnsons, he’s the adult in the room.

Why is Kissinger called a war criminal over Vietnam but the North Vietnamese leaders Ho Chi Minh and Le Duan get a pass after all the lives lost they caused ? Bombing NVA troops in Cambodia was not a war crime - they had no right to be in Cambodia so were fair game.

kissinger is living proof there is no god - he would have died very slowly in a house fire long ago if there were. It is astounding to meet the number of ordinary Americans who hate his guts.
