Class Details
Perhaps no single individual has influenced the course of American foreign policy over the last fifty years more than Henry Kissinger. A refugee from Nazi Germany, Kissinger emerged during the 1950’s as one of America’s most important scholars of international relations and nuclear strategy. During the 1960’s and 1970’s, as National Security Advisor and later secretary of State, Kissinger was at the center of some of the important events of the Cold War. This tutorial will examine Kissinger’s thoughts on American policy and international relations as well as record in the Nixon and Ford administrations. In addition, we will also look at how other scholars have assessed Kissinger’s scholarship and his stewardship of American foreign policy at crucial moments in the history of the Cold War.
