That monumental meeting in 1972-during what Nixon called the week that changed the world-could have been brought about only by powerful leaders: Nixon himself, a great strateg ist and a flawed human being, and Mao, willful and ruthless. They were assisted by two brilliant and complex statesmen, Henry Kissinger and Chou En-lai.
