Manage power. The architect of the new world order talks

“Diplomacy is the art of managing force.” So says one of the most influential foreign policy figures of the twentieth century, Henry Kissinger. From 1969 to 1975, he was the National Security Advisor to the American President, and from 1973 to 1977, he was the US Secretary of State.
In his book, he tells how he used diplomatic means to fight the main enemy of the United States, the Soviet Union under Brezhnev; how the United States managed to finally crush the USSR under Gorbachev. In addition, Kissinger assesses relations between the United States and Russia under Putin (with whom, according to media reports, he met 17 times), and writes about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
