The Inevitability of Tragedy is a fascinating intellectual biography of Henry Kissinger that examines his unique role in government through his ideas. It analyzes the continuing controversies surrounding Kissinger's policies in such places as Vietnam and Chile by offering an understanding of his definition of realism; his seemingly amoral belief that foreign affairs must be conducted through a balance of power; and his "un-American" view that promoting democracy is most likely to result in repeated defeats for the United States. Barry Gewen places Kissinger's ideas in a European context by tracing them through his experience as a refugee from Nazi Germany and exploring the links between his notions of power and those of his mentor, Hans Morgenthau, the father of realism, as well as those of two other German-Jewish émigrés who shared his concerns about the weaknesses of democracy: Leo Strauss and Hannah Arendt"--cProvided by publisher.10aKissinger, Henry A.,q(Henry Alfred), d1923-202391961610aKissinger, Henry,d1923-2023xPolitical and social views.14aKissinger, Henry, d1923-2023 xPuntos de vista políticos y sociales 942380 0aStatesmenzUnited StatesvBiography. 4aEstadistas estadounidenses vBiografías941999 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsxPhilosophy. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1969-1974. 4aEstados Unidos xRelaciones exterioresy1969-1974973  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  c123310d123310  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2025-05-01l0o002 E 840.8 K61G 2021p00000187324r2025-05-01 00:00:00t1w2025-05-01yBK
