Kissinger’s favourable press, but in 1973 the beleaguered Nixon sought to distract attention from the Watergate scandal by promoting Kissinger to Secretary of State and focusing on the administration’s foreign policy successes. After Nixon’s departure, his successor, Gerald Ford, was effectively criticized in the 1976 presidential election for having contracted leadership in foreign policy out to the “lone ranger” Kissinger, and for the amorality of détente. While future studies of aspects of Kissinger’s career will come, and are indeed welcome, Schwartz has provided a handy compendium of what we know about the record, with helpful insights of his own. The result will be welcomed by readers encountering Kissinger for the first time as well as students of the period.

国家风险：外国投资者的祸根，Norbert Gaillard

基辛格的好消息，但在 1973 年，陷入困境的尼克松试图通过提拔基辛格为国务卿并专注于政府外交政策的成功来转移人们对水门事件丑闻的注意力。尼克松离任后，他的继任者杰拉尔德·福特在 1976 年总统大选中受到批评，因为他将外交政策的领导权交给了“独行侠”基辛格，以及缓和的不道德行为。虽然未来对基辛格职业生涯的各个方面的研究将会到来，而且确实受到欢迎，但施瓦茨提供了一个方便的纲要，说明我们对这张唱片的了解，以及他自己的有益见解。这一结果将受到第一次接触基辛格的读者以及当时的学生的欢迎。
