For over 2,000 years, the Chinese have seen 'all under heaven' as being tributary to the Chinese Emperor. As if taking a perspective from far above the globe, it examines the great tectonic plates of history and the motivations of nations, explaining the attitudes that states and empires have taken to the rest of the world from the formation of Europe to our own times. America views itself as a 'city on a hill', a beacon to the world, whose values have universal validity.

With his characteristic flair and command of political history, Dr. Kissinger has once again authored a book that examines the development of political systems through the lenses of history, economics, and, interestingly enough, psychology. ("Diplomacy" is, in my opinion, another example of this type of narrative.) Despite his often intimidating intellect, Dr. Kissinger has a talent for writing for the scholar and the layman.
