The New York Times bestseller “An extraordinary book.” —The Wall Street Journal “Kissinger is the genuine article, and worth listening to.” —Financial Times “A must read. . . . His books—including this one—will hopefully be read well into the future.” —New York Journal of Books Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy “Leaders,” writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, “think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.” In
