Leadership

Henry Kissinger (1923–2023) — an American statesman, diplomat, and expert in international politics, served as national security advisor to the American president from 1969 to 1975 and as Secretary of State of the USA from 1973 to 1977. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate for 1973, Kissinger was one of the most renowned political scientists in the world.

What is leadership in general, and what qualities should a leader in politics possess? It is particularly interesting when such questions are answered by an authoritative statesman and an unquestionable leader himself — Dr. Henry Kissinger.

In his latest book, he writes about six political leaders — Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. Henry Kissinger was personally acquainted with them and observed how their actions changed the course of history over a number of years.
