More than thirty years after working side-by-side in the White ì House, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger remain two of the most ì compelling, contradictory, and powerful men in America in the ì second half of the twentieth century. While their personalities ì could hardly have seemed more different, they were drawn together ì by the same magnetic force. Both were largely self-made men, ì brimming with ambition, driven by their own inner demons, and ì often ruthless in pursuit of their goals. At the height of their ì power, the collaboration and rivalry between them led to a ì sweeping series of policies that would leave a defining mark on ì the Nixon presidency.

Tapping into a wealth of recently declassified archives, ì Robert Dallek uncovers fascinating details about Nixon and ì Kissinger's tumultuous personal relationship and the extent to ì which they struggled to outdo each other in the reach for ì achievements in foreign affairs. Illuminating, authoritative, ì revelatory, and utterly engrossing, Nixon and Kissinger provides ì a startling new picture of the immense power and sway these two ì men held in changing world history.
