On China.

Kissinger, Henry A

Verlag: Penguin Press, New York, 2011

First edition, early printing of Kissinger's 13th book, in which he draws on historical records and 40 years of direct interaction with four generations of Chinese leaders to analyze the link between Chinaâ s ancient past and its present day trajectory. Octavo, original boards. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "To Admiral James Winnifeld Thank you for your service Henry A. Kissinger." The recipient, James Winnifeld served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Dust jacket design by Darren Haggar. An exceptional association. 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 Nixonâ s historic trip to Beijing. "Fascinating, shrewd . . . The book deftly traces the rhythms and patterns of Chinese history" (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 144070
