Konrad Adenauer: the strategy of humility-- Charles de Gaulle: the strategy of will -- Richard Nixon: the strategy of equilibrium -- Anwar Sadat: the strategy of transcendence -- Lee Kuan Yew: the strategy of excellence -- Margaret Thatcher: the strategy of conviction -- The evolution of leadership. "Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility' Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will.' During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium.' After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence.' Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by 'the strategy of excellence.' And, though Britain was known as 'the sick man of Europe' when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country'>s morale and international position by 'the strategy of conviction.' To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes personal knowledge." --publisher's website. 20220714.
