This is the biography of the most powerful Number Two man in history...President Nixon's brilliant adviser...the nation's most publicized swinger...the "Super-Kraut." From Heinz Kissinger's earliest years in his native Germany to his life in America as Henry Kissinger, who became adviser to three Presidents, this book reveals such fascinating facets as: 1) The amazing lifestyle that has allowed the President's top aide to mix affairs of state with personal excursions involving a belly dancer and Hollywood's most luscious stars; 2) The ironic parallel between Presidential adviser Kissinger and Dr. Strangelove; 3) The background that caused Kissinger to sidestep the Arab-Israeli dispute; 4) The reason Kissinger was turned down for a Harvard professorship; 5) The Kissinger-Rockefeller campaign to stop Richard Nixon from getting the 1968 nomination...and much more! Included here are incisive chapters on the top level negotiations that reopened relations with China and helped reshape a world balance of power. Only time will tell how much Henry Kissinger has influenced the course of human events. Meanwhile, this engrossing book offers a slice of living history - the biography of the most interesting and improbable personality of any administration - the exciting true adventures of Super-Kraut."
