Nixon and Kissinger Partners in Power

"Dallek delivers what will quickly become recognized as a classic of modern history: the definitive analysis of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's complex, often troubled partnership in running American foreign policy. . . . An eloquent portrayal of power. . . . Dallek finds important new material that will revise our thinking." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"[E]verything one could want in a contemporary history-a meticulously researched story, written with unobtrusive elegance, unsparing in its judgments, but tempered by sobriety and a genuine compassion for its compelling yet breathtakingly flawed subjects. It also fairly vibrates with up-to-the-minute relevance." - Los Angeles Times

"A fresh and disturbing double portrait. . . . It's hypnotic and-retroactively-terrifying to watch this unsteady Siamese-twin act toddling around the globe, from China to Chile, Vietnam to the Soviet Union, simultaneously propping each other up and cutting each other down." - Time magazine
