Henry Kissinger

Jérémie Gallon's reexamination of Kissinger's life and personality provides vital lessons for twenty-first century Europe * Michel Barnier, former French Prime Minister *
At a time when geopolitics has become scary again, Jérémie's take on Henry Kissinger is essential reading' * Radoslaw Sikorski, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs *
Jérémie Gallon's KIssinger is in essence a letter to Europe. Gallon wants Europe to rediscover foreign policy realism and power, 'devoid of self-illusion'. His portrait of Kissinger as the intellectual man of action reveals historic European roots, but Gallon recognises that this older image must to adapted to the Europe of today. At a moment when Europe's long holiday from history is coming to a sharp close, Gallon's book summons statesmen of the past to rally new leaders who combine strategy with the diplomatic arts. * Robert B. Zoellick, former President of the World Bank, US Trade Representative, and US Deputy Secretary of State; author of America in the World *
Fascinating book. Gallon's Kissinger is one that you do not know * Ivan Krastev, Chair of the Centre for Liberal Strategies and Financial Times contributing editor *
This short volume, translated from the French by Roland Glasser, is really two books. The longer is a gallop through Kissinger's remarkable career. The shorter is a meditation on his relationship with the continent of his birth and how his legacy might be used to rejuvenate Europe's strategic position. * Wall Street Journal *
Gallon supplies exclusive revelations from his meeting with Kissinger 10 days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has said himself that Kissinger's life and actions "have much to teach us as to how we can build the new European realpolitik we so desperately need". * Belfast Telegraph *
