Kissinger understood how to wine and dine the press, and therefore during his White House days, and for a few years after, he enjoyed a reputation and a hagiography--especially by the Kalb brothers--which deemed him some kind of foreign policy guru. When, in fact, he and Nixon differed very little from the Dulles brothers. Everywhere they ventured, in a very heavy handed way, they managed to make things worse than they were: Indochina, the Middle East, Chile. Bundy's book methodically shows these blunders for what they were. Nixon and Kissinger never had a vision of the world which included anything but anti-communism, and third world imperialism. And that means just about everywhere, including Africa. Although they fancied themselves the Smartest Guys in the Room, actually their opponents had them sized up in advance. Because their underlying positions were so backward looking and doctrinaire.
A valuable book, and its correctness is being borne out to this very day.
