Henry Kissinger is almost unique in contemporary politics in
combining deep intellect with a remarkable record of practical
statesmanship. His latest book is as magisterial as all his others
... its real value lies in Kissinger's historical perspective ...
Kissinger argues all [his] points brilliantly
*Daily Telegraph*
A brilliantly conceived and executed book even by Henry Kissinger's
very high standards ... In keeping with his admirable custom, he
summarizes vast and complex matters with the simple authority of
someone who thoroughly commands the material and has learned his
art by study and practice, and this volume showcases his erudition,
which flows evenly and elegantly throughout ... World Order is
brilliant from start to finish, including its treatment of
Iranian-American relations, Israel and Palestine, nuclear
proliferation, and the dangers of cyber war. The author's talents
bear comparison with some of the foreign ministers whose careers he
describes, including Talleyrand and Metternich; he has produced a
work of genius
*Conrad Black*
A confident, neatly-constructed world pageant
*Sunday Times*
Part history, part lecture, part memoir ... Kissinger's conclusion
deserves to be read and understood by all candidates ahead of the
2016 presidential election. World order depends on it
*Financial Times*
Henry Kissinger ... still has remarkable influence. Reading this
book, you can see why ... the wit, clarity and concision of his
chapters on Europe, America and jihadism are bracing
*Economist*
The clarity of [Kissinger's] thinking [is] abundantly in evidence
in this admirable book ... The Foreign Office would do well to read
it from beginning to end
*The Times*
