Henry Kissinger – ein Jahrhundert für machtpolitische Stabilität

In this tribute, Henry Kissinger is portrayed in terms of his versatile character and intellectual flexibility. Taking into account his socialisation in Germany, this paper shows the many ways in which he shaped and even revolutionised US foreign policy. The fact that his political advice was in demand worldwide until the end of his life is a testament to the breadth of his analytical skills and his strength of character.
