In The Kissinger Tapes, Tom Wells has carefully selected, edited, and annotated transcripts of tapes, which chronologically highlight the most momentous crises and controversies of the era. They not only provide many revelations on Kissinger's role in numerous events but also throw his personality and character into sharp relief. The conversations cover a wide range of issues, including the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers, the opening to China, the 1973 coup in Chile, the Nixon administration's illegal wiretapping, and the Watergate scandal. They further offer a genuinely unique perspective on one of the most important figures in modern American history.
