Henry Kissinger, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, reached the pinnacle of the American political establishment

Henry Kissinger was renowned for his role in shaping U.S.-China relations and easing Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union. His approach, rooted in realpolitik, earned him both acclaim and criticism. Kissinger’s complex legacy includes the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in ending the Vietnam War and controversy over his involvement in the Vietnam conflict and U.S. actions in Cambodia.
