Reviews
Praise for Richard C. Thornton's The Nixon-Kissinger Years: Reshaping America's Foreign Policy "Like a Tom Clancy thriller or an Anthony Price mystery, intricate events unfold across great distances whether of geography or of the mind.... The Nixon-Kissinger Years is a devastating commentary on the conduct of American foreign relations by Kissinger."
