review 1: Really wanted to give this 5 stars, cause of the profundity of the ideas Hank is able to convey. But the editor did not do a thorough enough job blending the chapters into a continuous line of thought in my opinion. It's as if they could have each stood as distinct treatises but in the end the historical narrative and modern prescriptions contained in each -- as a sum -- became disjointed rather than building to a cohesive whole. I felt this weakened the narrative's argument but did not take away from the underlying big ideas. Kissinger is a mammoth in the field of foreign policy.
review 2: This isn't a review so much as a recommendation.This volume is a comprehensive primer on the major foreign policy and geopolitical issues at work in the world today. This bo... moreok puts all of Dr. Kissinger's philosophical depth and geopolitical savvy on display for those willing to learn the issues rather than simply "feel a cause", all too common today.To read this book is to receive a succinct briefing on the history, principles, political philosophy, geography, and particular nexus of issues worthy of attention and study. As I was reading it, one could easily forget that Dr. Kissinger is in his 90's. His intellectual vibrancy, analysis, and quotability is still in top in World Order. less
