Nixon Kissinger Years: Reshaping America's Foreign Policy

â€œLike a Tom Clancy thriller or an Anthony Price mystery, intricate events unfold across great distances whether of geography or of the mind...The Nixon-Kissinger Years is a devastating commentary on the conduct of American foreign relations by Kissinger.... Vast and pointed...â€ â€“Global Affairs

Richard Thorntonâ€™s interpretation of American foreign policy has stood the test of over a decade of scrutiny since the Nixon-Kissinger Years first appeared. In this paperback edition, he has supplemented his original account with new materiel: including that from Kissingerâ€™s third volume of memoirs, William Burrâ€™s, The Kissinger Transcripts: The Top Secret Talks with Beijing and Moscow, and memoir material from one of his main interlocutors, Anatoly Dobrynin. All reinforce the original interpretations of this book.

The most significant revision, however, comes in the chapter on the Watergate crisis. Here, for the first time, based on congressional investigative material and other sources, the author puts forth a fully developed interpretation of the crisis from the perspective of factional politics and foreign policy which goes substantially beyond the original account.
