Kissinger

This dichotomy is not the only one that exists when discussing Henry Kissinger. Stephen Graubard, Gregory Cleva, Walter Issacson and Jussi Hanhimäki have all written works that view Kissinger differently. Some of the differences are slight

Nixon believed that no summit meeting without adequate preparation had the prospect for concrete agreements. Before Nixon embarked upon a series of summits with Leonid Brezhnev, he cautioned the State Department in a memorandum writing that without adequate preparation, there were no prospects for concrete agreements.

Kissinger Excludes Bureaucratic Rivals The first skirmish that Kissinger won in his early days as NSA was during the formation of the new NSC system.
