Often dubbed the most controversial figure in American politics, Henry Kissinger is the man who shaped the American foreign policy – and thus the world – decisively in the second half of the 20th century. In a two-hour interview, Adrian Pennick tries to get answers about some of his more controversial decisions, like the Vietnam War and his policy on China. Kissinger also speaks about his relationship with the presidents he served, especially Richard Nixon and reveals his activities in his later career, as he served in advisory roles for various politicians and governments across the globe.
