Biografija
urediRođen je kao Heinz Alfred Kissinger u Fürthu (Bavarska). Otac mu je bio školski učitelj. Potječe iz jevrejske porodice.[1] Pobjegao je iz Njemačke pred nacističkim progonom 1938. Godine 1943. postao je naturalizirani Amerikanac. Ženio se dva puta. Ima dvoje djece. U poslijeratnoj Njemačkoj pokazao je legendarnu sposobnost hapšenja Gestapovih agenata. Briljirao je akademski i diplomirao je s pohvalom na Harvardu 1950. godine, gdje je i magistrirao i doktorirao filozofiju 1951. i 1954.
Kissinger je igrao istaknutu ulogu u vanjskoj politici Sjedinjenih Država između 1969. i 1977. godine, pionir politike detanta sa Sovjetskim Savezom tokom Hladnog rata, orkestrirajući otvaranje odnosa sa Kinom, angažirajući se u onome što je postalo poznato kao šatl diplomatija na Bliskom istoku koji je okončao Jomkipurski rat i pregovarao o Pariskom mirovnom sporazumu, koji je okončao američko učešće u Vijetnamskom ratu. Kissinger je također bio povezivan s takvim kontroverznim politikama kao što su američko bombardiranje Kambodže tokom Vijetnamskog rata, umiješanost SAD u čileanski državni udar 1973, dao je "zeleno svjetlo" argentinskoj vojnoj hunti za njihov Prljavi rat i američka podrška Pakistanu tokom Bangladeša rata za nezavisnost uprkos genocidu koji je počinio Pakistan.[3] Nakon što je napustio vladu, osnovao je Kissinger Associates, međunarodnu geopolitičku konsultantsku firmu. Kissinger je napisao više knjiga o diplomatskoj historiji i međunarodnim odnosima.
Kissingerovo nasljeđe je polarizirajuća tema u američkoj politici. Naučnici ga naširoko smatraju efikasnim državnim sekretarom[4] i osuđuju ga zato što je zatvarao oči pred ratnim zločinima koje su počinili američki saveznici zbog njegove podrške pragmatičnom pristupu politici zvanom Realpolitik.[5][6][7][8] Za svoje akcije u pregovorima o prekidu vatre u Vijetnamu, Kissinger je 1973. dobio Nobelovu nagradu za mir pod kontroverznim okolnostima.[9] Nasuprot tome, Kissinger je izuzetno omiljena ličnost u Kini, a China News Service ga je u svojoj čitulji opisala kao nekoga "ko je imao oštru viziju i temeljno razumijevanje svjetskih poslova".[10][11]
Umro je 29. novembra 2023. u 100. godini života.

many consider Kissinger a war criminal, most famously Christopher Hitchens, who, in a lengthy two-part article for Harper's in 2001 (later expanded into the book and documentary, The Trial of Henry Kissinger), laid out his case that Kissinger should be brought up on charges 'for war crimes, for crimes against humanity, and for offenses against common or customary or international law, including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture'.
