Throughout the history of the past three hundred years, from Cardinal Richelieu, the father of the modern state system, to Roosevelt and Stalin; from the unification of Germany, Germany's two defeats, to the beginning and end of the post-war Cold War; this book eloquently discusses how the balance of power and the art of diplomacy have shaped the pattern of our world.
Relying on his experience in international affairs, Henry Kissinger uses rich historical knowledge and witty and humorous writing to describe major events in the history of world diplomacy, analyze the differences in diplomatic styles of various countries, and focus on revealing the ideological origins of U. S. Foreign policy.
