Isaacson, assistant managing editor of Time , has produced much more than another unauthorized biography, giving extensive insights into the younger years of Heinz Kissinger in Bavaria and how they shaped his character, his style in dealing with others, and his worldview. Over 150 interviews with Kissinger intimates, enemies, subordinates, and the man himself generate a less-than-flattering portrayal of the man behind the intellect and the myths. Isaacson covers Kissinger''s Americanization, his use of Harvard ties to enhance his career, his forays into the stratosphere of the Council on Foreign Relations NY, and his Washington years and exploits. He also examines Kissinger''s ill-fated negotiations with the North Vietnamese, empire building as national security assistant, shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East, arms control efforts, and later years as private citizen and consultant. While there are other excellent Kissinger biographies Stephen Graubard''s Kissinger , LJ 6173; John Stoessinger''s Henry Kissinger: The Anguish of Power , LJ 91576; Bruce Mazlich''s Kissinger: The European Mind in American Policy , LJ 91576, this work is the best to date on Henry K. Superstar. Essential for general libraries. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5192.
