    • THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.

    • Ve své první práci o dějinách mezinárodní politiky z roku 1957 se Kissinger zaměřuje na diplomatickou historii Evropy od Napoleonovy porážky v Rusku až po protiturecké povstání v Řecku v roce 1822, které ukončilo britskou účast na evropské politice. Hlavními aktéry jsou rakouský kancléř Metternich a britský ministr zahraničí lord Castlereagh, jejichž osudy a názory ilustrují, jak se habsburská monarchie odklání od Francie a přebírá vůdčí roli v evropské diplomacii, zatímco Británie prosazuje svou vizi rovnováhy v Evropě. Evropské státy se snažily vybudovat nový mezinárodní řád na troskách ponapoleonské Evropy, založený na pravidelných konzultacích a hledání jednotících politických principů. Kissinger tuto situaci analyzuje s ohledem na nedávno skončenou druhou světovou válku, která přinesla podobné výzvy jako napoleonské války. Autor vyjadřuje sympatie k pragmatické politice Metternicha a Castlereaghe, která usiluje o stabilní mezinárodní řád založený na rovnováze sil. Historická fakta slouží Kissingera jako podnět k hlubšímu zamyšlení nad událostmi a jejich protagonisty. Vyniká schopností psychologické analýzy, ať už se věnuje Metternichovi, Castlereaghovi, ruskému carovi Alexandru nebo Napoleonovi.

    • Světoznámý politolog, historik, poradce pěti amerických prezidentů a laureát Nobelovy ceny míru detailně analyzuje kariéru šesti legendárních státníků Konrada Adenauera, Charlese de Gaulla, Richarda Nixona, Anwara Sadata, Lee Kuan Yewa a Margaret Thatcherové. Všichni se zformovali v období, kdy se v Evropě hroutily zavedené instituce, koloniální struktury ustupovaly nezávislým státům v Asii a Africe a ze zbytků starého mezinárodního řádu bylo třeba vytvořit nový. Kissinger všechny vybrané vůdce osobně poznal a označil je za skutečně výjimečné osobnosti. Vychází k autorovým stým narozeninám.

      The Meaning of History is the senior thesis written by Henry Kissinger at Harvard university in 1950, when he was twenty-seven. More than 70 years later it is now being published for the first time. The thesis explores the thought of three distinct but important thinkers in the canon of Western philosophical and historical thought, in a way that also reflected Kissinger's own transition from the Continental world to the Atlantic. Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a German historian and philosopher; Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975) a British historian and philosopher and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a Prussian of the European Enlightenment era and one of the most important moral and political philosophers to emerge from his time. The study is intimidatingly long and weighty in its own right; at almost four hundred typed pages, it wrestles with some of the first-order dilemmas of Western political, philosophical, and moral thought. Its scope ranges from the Enlightenment through to the midpoint of the twentieth century - an era scourged by two world wars and the advent of the nuclear age. Equally important, it provides great insight into the conceptual perspective of its author, Henry Kissinger, who was to become the most influential American scholar statesman of the post 1945 period.

    • Henry Kissinger, destacado diplomático, explora las estrategias de liderazgo de seis figuras influyentes del siglo XX, presentando una teoría cohesiva sobre liderazgo y diplomacia. Sostiene que los líderes operan en la intersección del pasado y el futuro, equilibrando los valores de aquellos a quienes dirigen. Este equilibrio entre conocimiento histórico e intuición permite establecer objetivos y diseñar estrategias. Kissinger examina a seis líderes notables y sus enfoques únicos hacia el arte de gobernar. Konrad Adenauer, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, utilizó "la estrategia de la humildad" para reintegrar a Alemania en la comunidad global. Charles de Gaulle empleó "la estrategia de la voluntad" para alinear a Francia con los Aliados y restaurar su grandeza. Richard Nixon, con su "estrategia de equilibrio" durante la Guerra Fría, otorgó a EE. UU. una ventaja geoestratégica. Anwar Sadat imaginó la paz en Oriente Medio con su "estrategia de trascendencia". Lee Kuan Yew transformó a Singapur en una próspera ciudad-estado a través de su "estrategia de excelencia". Finalmente, Margaret Thatcher revitalizó la moral y el estatus internacional de Gran Bretaña con "la estrategia de la convicción". Kissinger se apoya en su perspectiva histórica y experiencia personal, culminando en reflexiones sobre la relevancia del liderazgo en el mundo actual.

    • "An A.I. that learned to play chess discovered moves that no human champion would have conceived of. Driverless cars edge forward at red lights, just like impatient humans, and so far, nobody can explain why it happens. Artificial intelligence is being put to use in sports, medicine, education, and even (frighteningly) how we wage war.

      Über 40 Jahre lang, von 1948 bis nach seiner Pensionierung 1978, war Dr. Fritz G. A. Kraemer (1908-2003) eine einflussreiche Figur in der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik der USA. Als Top-Berater im Pentagon prägte der in Essen geborene Deutschamerikaner die Entscheidungen zahlreicher Verteidigungsminister und beeinflusste hochrangige Politiker, Diplomaten, Militärs und Wissenschaftler. Henry Kissinger, Friedensnobelpreisträger und ehemaliger US-Außenminister, bezeichnete Kraemer als „die größte Einzelperson, die meinen prägenden Jahren Einfluss gab“. Auch Alexander M. Haig verdankt seine Karriere wesentlich Kraemers Förderung. Aus dem Kreis der von Kraemer Unterstützten entwickelte sich in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren die Neocon-Bewegung, die seine Ideen teilte. Obwohl eine wissenschaftliche Biographie über Kraemer noch aussteht, bietet dieses Buch einen tiefen Einblick in das Denken des Politikwissenschaftlers und Juristen, der keine eigenen Werke hinterlassen hat, abgesehen von seinen Dissertationen. Der Autor, Dr. Hubertus Hoffmann, wurde durch einen Artikel auf Kraemer aufmerksam und wurde dessen Hauptförderer für 25 Jahre. Die von Hoffmann mit Kraemers Unterstützung gegründete „World Security Network Foundation“ vereint zahlreiche Experten der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik, die sich seinen Ideen verpflichtet fühlen. Dieses Buch schließt eine wichtige Lücke in der Literatur zur internationalen Politik des 20. Jahrhunderts.

    • Wer regiert die Welt? Vier prominente Köpfe diskutieren die Frage, ob China das 21. Jahrhundert beherrschen wird. David Li und Niall Ferguson bejahen dies und argumentieren, dass Chinas wirtschaftliche und geopolitische Macht die westliche Welt übertreffen wird. Im Gegensatz dazu halten Henry Kissinger und Fareed Zakaria dagegen, dass China mit zahlreichen internen Problemen konfrontiert ist und daher in naher Zukunft keine dominante Rolle einnehmen kann. Die Debatte dieser führenden Experten beleuchtet, ob Chinas Aufstieg unaufhaltsam ist. Mit einem Humankapital von 1,3 Milliarden Menschen, technologischem Fortschritt und einem effizienten, staatlich kontrollierten Kapitalismus scheinen die Voraussetzungen für eine Supermacht gegeben. Dennoch steht China vor erheblichen Herausforderungen: begrenzte Energieressourcen, mangelndes Umweltbewusstsein und latente politische Unruhen könnten den Aufstieg abrupt stoppen. Die Diskussion über die Vor- und Nachteile von Chinas Vormachtstellung wird auf unterhaltsame Weise von Kissinger, Zakaria, Ferguson und Li geführt. Dieses Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich kompetent und informiert an der Debatte über Chinas Rolle im 21. Jahrhundert beteiligen möchten.

The book deftly traces the rhythms and patterns of Chinese history.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “No one can lay claim to so much influence on the shaping of foreign policy over the past 50 years as Henry Kissinger.” —The Financial Times In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book length to a country he has known intimately for decades and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. On China illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and tight line modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, and Richard Nixon’s historic trip to Beijing. With a new final chapter on the emerging superpower’s twenty-first-century role in global politics and economics, On China provides historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of our time.

Historická fakta jsou pro Kissingera především podnětem k přemýšlení, jehož cílem je porozumět událostem i jejich protagonistům. Autor vyniká mimořádnou schopností psychologické drobnokresby, ať už píše o Metternichovi či Castlereaghovi, anebo se zabývá ruským carem Alexandrem či poraženým a kompromisu neschopným Napoleonem.

      A Look over My Shoulder begins with President Nixon’s attempt to embroil the Central Intelligence Agency, of which Richard Helms was then the director, in the Watergate cover-up. Helms then recalls his education in Switzerland and Germany and at Williams College; his early career as a foreign correspondent in Berlin, during which he once lunched with Hitler; and his return to newspaper work in the United States. Helms served on the German desk at OSS headquarters in London; subsequently, he was assigned to Allen Dulles’s Berlin office in postwar Germany.On his return to Washington, Helms assumed responsibility for the OSS carryover operations in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. He remained in this post until the Central Intelligence Agency was formed in 1947. At CIA, Helms served in many positions, ultimately becoming the organization’s director from 1966 to 1973. He was appointed ambassador to Iran later that year and retired from government service in January 1977. It was often thought that Richard Helms, who served longer in the Central Intelligence Agency than anyone else, would never tell his story, but here it is–revealing, news-making, and with candid assessments of the controversies and triumphs of a remarkable career.

      Quando si discute di globalizzazione, emergono atteggiamenti contrastanti: da un lato opportunità e crescita, dall'altro oppressione e mercificazione. Questo fenomeno suscita dibattiti tra studiosi e cittadini, generando sia speranze che timori. È davvero nuovo, o rappresenta una sfida rinnovata alla conoscenza e al progresso, simile a rivoluzioni passate? Se non è innovativo, come possiamo garantire che i benefici siano equamente distribuiti tra i popoli? Il mondo si sta espandendo: commerci, relazioni economiche, politiche e culturali si intrecciano, portando con sé valori e aspirazioni. Tuttavia, sorgono interrogativi su cosa non funzioni in questo processo e su cosa debba essere corretto. È giusto fermare l'espansione o continuare a promuoverla? Le lezioni raccolte nella Sala Zuccari di Palazzo Giustiniani affrontano queste tematiche, presentando contributi di figure di spicco come Giovanni Agnelli, Henry Kissinger, Václav Havel, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Bill Gates e Bernard Lewis. Insieme, offrono una prospettiva preziosa e originale sul fenomeno della globalizzazione, esplorando le sue dimensioni economiche, politiche, culturali e storiche.

      In this engaging book, foreign minister Igor S. Ivanov explores the evolution of Russian foreign policy since the Soviet Union's collapse. Drawing on Russia's diplomatic history, he analyzes how a newly democratic Russia has redefined its foreign policy amid significant transformation over the past decade. The text includes Russia's Foreign Policy Concept, a document from the Putin administration that outlines the government's daily activities and aims to provide transparency regarding Russia's foreign policy agenda. This Concept seeks to balance Russia's global role with internal demands for domestic stability. Ivanov emphasizes that the radical changes have necessitated a complete overhaul of how foreign policy is crafted, implemented, and communicated. He details the role of parliament in foreign policy decisions and the relationship between legislative and executive branches, as well as the distribution of authority among the president, government, and regional authorities. He also highlights the need to modernize Russia's diplomatic service, rooted in a tradition of professional diplomats since Peter the Great. While acknowledging the desire to create a new foreign policy during times of upheaval, Ivanov underscores the importance of continuity, linking contemporary challenges to the rich legacy of Russian and Soviet diplomacy and referencing the philosophies of historical leaders.

      Since the terrorist atrocities in New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 and the subsequent 'War on Terrorism', the question of American foreign policy has become more vital than ever. In this timely, thoughtful and important book America's most famous diplomatist explains why a new coherent foreign policy is urgently needed and what the goals of this policy should be. Kissinger covers the wide range of problems facing the United States at the beginning of a new millennium and a new presidency paying particular interest to the various 'hot spots' around the world. DOES AMERICA NEED A FOREIGN POLICY? offers a clear-eyed assessment of how the United States' dominant position may be effectively reconciled with the crucial need, in the twenty-first century, to achieve a bold new world order. In nine accessibly written chapters Kissinger examines America's present and future relations with Russia, China, Europe, the Middle East and other regions in the world. This is done in conjunction with emerging concerns such as globalisation, military intervention, free trade and the planet's eroding natural environment. In this fascinating book Dr Kissinger lays out a compelling, comprehensively drawn vision for American policy in the coming decades.

      Henry Kissinger, a prominent American diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, is a key figure in contemporary history and American foreign policy. The final volume of his memoirs serves as both a historical document and a compelling narrative filled with insights and candor. It begins with Nixon's resignation, offering Kissinger's assessment of Nixon's complex personality and the tragedy that marked his presidency, which briefly elevated Kissinger to immense power. The narrative then explores Gerald Ford's administration, portraying him as a man of decency and courage who guided the nation through renewal. Kissinger reflects on the painful U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam amidst a hostile Congress and a weakened intelligence community, presenting a vivid account of crises such as the fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam, the Mayaguez incident, and tensions between Greece and Turkey. He details pivotal moments in American foreign policy during Ford's era, including his shuttle diplomacy that fostered peace between Egypt and Israel, the Vladivostok meeting with Brezhnev on nuclear limitations, and the complex U.S.-China dialogue. The memoir also covers Kissinger's initiatives in Africa and U.S. policies in the Americas, offering candid portraits of global leaders, from Mao Zedong to Brezhnev.

    • In Years of Upheaval Henry Kissinger recalls the turbulent years of the second Administration of Richard Nixon, which began on 20 January 1973. Two momentous events and their consequences dominate this account: the Watergate scandal, and the 1973 October war in the Middle East. The books opens at the Western White House on a summer afternoon in August of that year, when Dr Kissinger is told by the President during a poolside conversation that he is to become Secretary of State. The memories that follow are a rich compendium of his experiences in the months before and after appointment: an eerie trip to Hanoi shortly after the Vietnam cease-fire; efforts to settle the war in Cambodia; two Nixon-Brezhnev summits and the controversy over detente; the Shah of Iran; the oil crisis and the efforts to covercome it; the US airlift to Israel and the military alert during the Middle East war; the origins of shuttle diplomacy; the fall of Salvador Allende in Chile; and the events sur rounding Nixon's resignation.
