Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger

Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger is a seminal work on international relations, exploring the history, theory, and practice of diplomacy from the 17th century to the post–Cold War world. Drawing from his experience as a statesman and scholar, Kissinger analyzes the strategic moves of global powers—from Richelieu and Bismarck to Nixon and Reagan—offering deep insights into realpolitik, balance of power, and the shifting dynamics of global leadership. Both a historical narrative and a guide to statecraft, Diplomacy remains essential reading for anyone interested in geopolitics, foreign policy, and world affairs.
