  |Character Information|

 

More than thirty years after working side by side in the White House, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger still stand as two of the most compelling, contradictory, and powerful leaders in America in the second half of the twentieth century. Both were largely self-made men, brimming with ambition, driven by their own inner demons, and often ruthless in pursuit of their goals. From January 1969 to August 1974, their collaboration and rivalry resulted in the making of foreign policy that would leave a defining mark on the Nixon presidency.

Tapping into a wealth of recently declassified documents and tapes, Robert Dallek uncovers fascinating details about Nixon and Kissinger's tumultuous personal relationship and the extent to which they struggled to outdo each other in the reach for foreign policy achievements. With unprecedented detail, Dallek reveals Nixon's erratic behavior during Watergate and the extent to which Kissinger was complicit in trying to help Nixon use national security to prevent his impeachment or resignation.

Illuminating, authoritative, revelatory, and utterly engrossing, Nixon and Kissinger provides a startling new picture of the immense power and sway these two men held in affecting world history.

尼克松和基辛格之间存在一种复杂的关系。他们有很多相似之处,比如都有点偏执、有很强的不安全感以及冷酷无情;但同时两人之间还存在激烈而紧张的权力争夺。尼克松对基辛格可能会“功高震主”感到不满,但是他又需要利用基辛格的外交才能来对付国会的弹劾威胁。在上世纪七十年代,“水门事件”困扰尼克松之后,时任国务卿的基辛格权力日益扩大。在1973年第三次中东战争爆发后,得到消息的基辛格为了避免尼克松干预此事,在3个多小时后才将此事报告给尼克松……
