Henry Kissinger wrote diplomatic history and foreign-policy analysis shaped by his experience in US government and his long interest in balance-of-power politics. Diplomacy surveys European statecraft, the world wars, the Cold War and American foreign policy through the decisions of statesmen and strategic constraints. World Order compares different historical ideas of legitimate international order, while On China examines Chinese diplomatic traditions and US-China relations. Leadership presents studies of figures including Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle and Lee Kuan Yew. Kissinger's prose is historical, strategic and elite-focused, with negotiation and state interest usually taking precedence over social history. His books fit diplomacy, international relations and geopolitical history, though readers may also want critical histories of the policies he helped shape. Read more Less
