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 In Leadership Henry Kissinger presents a far-reaching study of six impactful leaders in modern history: Charles de Gaulle Konrad Adenauer Margaret Thatcher Richard Nixon Lee Kuan Yew and Anwar Sadat. Emering in a period of institutional and imperial collapse across the globe these leaders created a new international order from the vestiges of the old.

From Kissinger's unique vantage point and through his personal relationships with his subjects we see not only the impact of these far-sighted statesmen during their period in power but also their legacies. Throughout Kissinger sheds light on leadership in times of war and peace and negotiation across gaping divides.
