The recipient, Drue Heinz was an actress, philanthropist, arts patron, and socialite. She was the publisher of the literary magazine The Paris Review (1993 to 2007), co-founded Ecco Press, founded literary retreats and endowed the Drue Heinz Literature Prize among others. She was married to H. J. Heinz II, president of Heinz. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jackie Seow. Jacket photographs by Mao Zedong and Darleen Rubin.
Perhaps the best known American diplomatist of the century, Henry Kissinger is a major figure in world history, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and arguably one of the most brilliant minds placed in the service of American foreign policy. The third and final volume of his memoirs completes a major work of American history, beginning with the resignation of Richard Nixon and concluding with the end of the Ford Administration. "A distinguished and important work.... Kissinger's history of his own time in office is a work whose breadth, clarity of vision and historical scope amply justify its size. It is an event, a likely classic of its genre" (New York Times).
