Leadership  Henry Kissinger presents a far-reaching study of six impactful leaders in modern

decisions and achievements. From Kissinger's unique vantage point and through his personal
relationships with his subjects  we see not only the impact of these far-sighted statesmen
during their period in power  but also their legacies. Throughout  Kissinger sheds light on
leadership in times of war and peace and negotiation across gaping divides. Essential reading
for all hoping to master the arts of command  persuasion  and inspiration  Leadership is at
once sweeping in its scope and intimate in its perspective.
