Greg Grandin argues that to understand America’s never-ending wars abroad, and our political polarization at home, we have to understand Henry Kissinger. Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman examines Kissinger's writings and newly declassified documents, revealing how Nixon's top foreign policy advisor helped to revive a militarized version of American exceptionalism centered on an imperial presidency.
