Item description from the seller

Brzezinski and Carter normalized US-China relations and decisively tipped the chessboard against Moscow at the end of that decade. Far blunter and more acerbic than Kissinger, Brzezinski was inevitably less of a darling with the global media. But his historic legacy—notably his critical role in bringing Kissinger’s stalled Détente to an end—is arguably greater. Brzezinski’s monumental contributions to American foreign policy have been underreported, leaving a hole in our understanding of Cold War history and its aftermath, notably America’s response to the 9/11 attacks, which he lamented. His role in having armed the Afghan Mujahideen to fight the Soviet invaders in 1980 was also latently controversial. Edward Luce’s biography corrects the underweighting of Brzezinski’s remarkable impact on America’s place in the world, telling the almost cinematic story of a life that spans most of the 20th century and beyond, and in doing so, narrating a new version of the end of the Cold War.
