Henry Kissinger Book order

THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.

The book offers a gripping narrative that captivates readers with its intricate plot and well-developed characters. It explores profound themes of love, loss, and resilience, set against a vivid backdrop that enhances the emotional depth of the story. With a blend of suspense and heartfelt moments, the author crafts a compelling journey that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The writing style is both evocative and accessible, making it a standout choice for fans of contemporary fiction.

Ve své první práci o dějinách mezinárodní politiky z roku 1957 se Kissinger zaměřuje na diplomatickou historii Evropy od Napoleonovy porážky v Rusku až po protiturecké povstání v Řecku v roce 1822, které ukončilo britskou účast na evropské politice. Hlavními aktéry jsou rakouský kancléř Metternich a britský ministr zahraničí lord Castlereagh, jejichž osudy a názory ilustrují, jak se habsburská monarchie odklání od Francie a přebírá vůdčí roli v evropské diplomacii, zatímco Británie prosazuje svou vizi rovnováhy v Evropě. Evropské státy se snažily vybudovat nový mezinárodní řád na troskách ponapoleonské Evropy, založený na pravidelných konzultacích a hledání jednotících politických principů. Kissinger tuto situaci analyzuje s ohledem na nedávno skončenou druhou světovou válku, která přinesla podobné výzvy jako napoleonské války. Autor vyjadřuje sympatie k pragmatické politice Metternicha a Castlereaghe, která usiluje o stabilní mezinárodní řád založený na rovnováze sil. Historická fakta slouží Kissingera jako podnět k hlubšímu zamyšlení nad událostmi a jejich protagonisty. Vyniká schopností psychologické analýzy, ať už se věnuje Metternichovi, Castlereaghovi, ruskému carovi Alexandru nebo Napoleonovi.

Co decyduje o polityce państw? Dlaczego wybierają taką, a nie inną drogę postępowania? Jaką rolę odgrywa położenie geograficzne, a jaką osobowości przywódców? Jaki wpływ na politykę zagraniczną państwa wywiera jego struktura wewnętrzna, doświadczenia historyczne, panujące przekonania, ideologia?... číst celé

Světoznámý politolog, historik, poradce pěti amerických prezidentů a laureát Nobelovy ceny míru detailně analyzuje kariéru šesti legendárních státníků Konrada Adenauera, Charlese de Gaulla, Richarda Nixona, Anwara Sadata, Lee Kuan Yewa a Margaret Thatcherové. Všichni se zformovali v období, kdy se v Evropě hroutily zavedené instituce, koloniální struktury ustupovaly nezávislým státům v Asii a Africe a ze zbytků starého mezinárodního řádu bylo třeba vytvořit nový. Kissinger všechny vybrané vůdce osobně poznal a označil je za skutečně výjimečné osobnosti. Vychází k autorovým stým narozeninám.

The Meaning of History is the senior thesis written by Henry Kissinger at Harvard university in 1950, when he was twenty-seven. More than 70 years later it is now being published for the first time. The thesis explores the thought of three distinct but important thinkers in the canon of Western philosophical and historical thought, in a way that also reflected Kissinger's own transition from the Continental world to the Atlantic. Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a German historian and philosopher; Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975) a British historian and philosopher and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a Prussian of the European Enlightenment era and one of the most important moral and political philosophers to emerge from his time. The study is intimidatingly long and weighty in its own right; at almost four hundred typed pages, it wrestles with some of the first-order dilemmas of Western political, philosophical, and moral thought. Its scope ranges from the Enlightenment through to the midpoint of the twentieth century - an era scourged by two world wars and the advent of the nuclear age. Equally important, it provides great insight into the conceptual perspective of its author, Henry Kissinger, who was to become the most influential American scholar statesman of the post 1945 period.

Der Bestseller des Jahrhundertpolitikers (1923 bis 2023) jetzt im Paperback Henry Kissinger, Jahrhundertpolitiker und Friedensnobelpreisträger, Meister der Diplomatie und politischer Stratege, zeigt in diesem Alterswerk, was Staatskunst in Zeiten von Krise und Umbruch auszeichnet. Am Beispiel von sechs Staatenlenkern, denen er persönlich verbunden war – Konrad Adenauer und Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon und Anwar el-Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew und Margaret Thatcher –, führt er uns vor Augen, wie aus dem Zusammenspiel von Strategie, Mut und Charakter politische Führung erwächst. Und was wir heute, angesichts wiederaufflammender Großmachtkonflikte, von ihrer Staatskunst lernen können. Ein beeindruckendes Vermächtnis, zeitlos und zugleich hochaktuell.

Henry Kissinger, a distinguished diplomat and statesman, explores the leadership strategies of six influential twentieth-century figures, presenting a cohesive theory of leadership and diplomacy. He asserts that leaders operate at the intersection of two axes: the past and the future, and the core values of those they lead. This balance of historical knowledge and future intuition allows leaders to set objectives and devise strategies. Kissinger examines six remarkable leaders through their unique approaches to statecraft. After World War II, Konrad Adenauer utilized "the strategy of humility" to reintegrate a defeated Germany into the global community. Charles de Gaulle employed "the strategy of will" to align France with the victorious Allies and restore its grandeur. Richard Nixon's "strategy of equilibrium" during the Cold War provided the U.S. with a geostrategic advantage. Anwar Sadat’s "strategy of transcendence" envisioned peace in the Middle East after decades of conflict. Lee Kuan Yew’s "strategy of excellence" transformed Singapore into a thriving city-state. Finally, Margaret Thatcher revitalized Britain’s morale and international standing through "the strategy of conviction." Kissinger draws on historical insight, personal experience, and his relationships with these leaders, culminating in reflections on the importance of leadership in today's world.

"An A.I. that learned to play chess discovered moves that no human champion would have conceived of. Driverless cars edge forward at red lights, just like impatient humans, and so far, nobody can explain why it happens. Artificial intelligence is being put to use in sports, medicine, education, and even (frighteningly) how we wage war. In this book, three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore how A.I. could affect our relationship with knowledge, impact our world views, and change society and politics as profoundly as the ideas of the Enlightenment"--Publisher's description
