Requests:  0 Summary:  Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were two of the most compelling, contradictory, and important leaders in America in the second half of the twentieth century. Both were largely self-made men, brimming with ambition and often ruthless in pursuit of their goals. Tapping into recently disclosed documents and tapes, historian Dallek uncovers fascinating details about Nixon and Kissinger's tumultuous personal relationship--their collaboration and rivalry--and the extent to which they struggled to outdo each other in foreign policy achievements. He also analyzes their dealings with power brokers at home and abroad, including the nightmare of Vietnam, the brilliant opening to China, détente with the Soviet Union, the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, the disastrous overthrow of Allende in Chile, and growing tensions between India and Pakistan, while recognizing how both men were continually plotting to distract the American public's attention away from the growing scandal of Watergate.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.92409 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.92409 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.92409 Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Nixon Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList
