Hardback. Zustand: New. A Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, an American Machiavelli, a diplomatic superstar - how Henry Kissinger built his legacyHenry Kissinger spent just eight years in office, as US National Security Advisor, Secretary of State, and briefly both at once. Yet somehow he became the most garlanded - and most notorious - diplomat of the twentieth century, dominating the public stage long after leaving government. How did this happen? For nearly half a century, Kissinger relentlessly burnished his reputation, determined to secure his place in the pantheon of great statesmen.Barbara J. Keys unveils Kissinger as a master of reputation management: lavishing access and charm on sympathetic journalists, publishers, and broadcasters, while deploying legal threats and backroom pressure against critics. He hosted biographers in his sprawling estate in Connecticut, leveraged his secretive consulting business into continuing influence, and carefully cultivated allies across the American establishment. Along the way, he seduced the institutions meant to hold power to account - and succeeded in building a legacy no one can ignore.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The fourth edition of Explaining the History of American Foreign Relations reconceptualizes this long-established classic to focus squarely on methods: not what we do, but how we do what we do. It presents revised, sharply focused essays on methods for researching national security, development, political economy, gender, religion, race, emotion, and nongovernmental organizations, alongside entirely new contributions on digital resources, spatial analysis, technology, materials, the natural world, the interaction of race and empire, US-Indigenous relations, ideology, and culture. The chapters are bracketed with an essay that assesses changes in the conception of US foreign relations history, and with an overview of how US foreign relations history is practiced in China. The essays, by scholars who have made a significant contribution in their areas of specialization, highlight conceptual approaches and methods that, taken together, offer an innovative and practical 'how-to' manual for both experienced scholars and newcomers to the field.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. "Sport has the power to change the world," South African president Nelson Mandela told the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo in 2000. Today, we are inundated with similar claims-from politicians, diplomats, intellectuals, journalists, athletes, and fans-about the many ways that international sports competitions make the world a better place. Promoters of the Olympic Games and similar global sports events have spent more than a century telling us that these festivals offer a multitude of "goods": that they foster friendship and mutual understanding among peoples and nations, promote peace, combat racism, and spread democracy. In recent years boosters have suggested that sports mega-events can advance environmental protection in a world threatened by climate change, stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty in developing nations, and promote human rights in repressive countries. If the claims are to be believed, sport is the most powerful and effective form of idealistic internationalism on the planet. The Ideals of Global Sport investigates these grandiose claims, peeling away the hype to reveal the reality: that shockingly little evidence underpins these endlessly repeated assertions. The essays, written by scholars from many regions and disciplines and drawn from an exceptionally diverse array of sources, show that these bold claims were sometimes cleverly leveraged by activist groups to pressure sports bodies into supporting moral causes. But the essays methodically debunk sports organizations' inflated proclamations about the record of their contributions to peace, mutual understanding, antiracism, and democracy. Exposing enduring shortcomings in the newer realm of human rights protection, from the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games to Brazil's 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics, The Ideals of Global Sport suggests that sport's idealistic pretensions can have distinctly non-idealistic side effects, distracting from the staggering financial costs of hosting the events, serving corporate interests, and aiding the spread of neoliberal globalization.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "Super K is downright hilarious. Who would have thought a biography of Henry Kissinger could be so laugh-out-loud revealing about the great pontificator But Barbara Keys has written an incisive and entertaining intellectual history of Kissinger's quest to shape his reputation." Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of New York Times bestselling American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn's Dark Journey from Joe McCarthy to Donald Trump The untold story of how Henry Kissinger spent five decades building and protecting a legacy that continues to influence modern politicsand the institutions that helped him do it.In the nearly fifty years after he left public office, Henry Kissinger remained one of the most admiredand controversialfigures in American public life. Super K reveals how he manufactured this extraordinary fame. Drawing on previously unseen private correspondence and interviews with journalists and editors he courted and battled, historian Barbara J. Keys exposes the machinery Kissinger used to build and defend his reputation. From fierce battles over his record in Cambodia and Chile to high-stakes confrontations with television networks and major publishers, Kissinger spent nearly five decades shaping how the world remembered his eight years in power and leveraging those years into continuing influence. In the process, he helped write the playbook for the modern political celebrity. Super K is not just a portrait of one man's quest to shape history; it is a sweeping account of the media and elite institutions that enabled him, revealing vulnerabilities that still shape public and political life today. Insightful and deeply researched, this is a definitive look at how reputations are manufactured and why they matter.…
