EVENT DETAILS

Both revered and reviled, Henry Kissinger has advised every U.S. president from Kennedy to Obama. His road to prominence was anything but easy, and the achievements and disappointments he faced in his early years would ultimately help define the man he would become. Historian Niall Ferguson discusses Kissinger’s life prior to his appointment as Richard Nixon’s national security adviser, illuminating his dramatic rise from a Jewish refugee fleeing Nazi Germany to one of the most influential strategic thinkers in American history.

Niall Ferguson is Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University and an award-winning author. His most recent title is Kissinger: 1923–1968: The Idealist.
