Henry Kissinger was a man of his time and lived over 100 years straddling the global stage with ease that few others could.
Born a Jew in Bavaria, Germany, in 1923, his parents migrated to the US in 1938 to escape Adolf Hitler's anti-Jewish atrocities. He served in the military as an intelligence officer during World War II and then found his way to Harvard University.
He towered over other influential European immigrants to the US who included Hans Morgenthau, Hannah Arendt, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Madeline Albright. These intellectuals dominated post-World War II thinking on world affairs, favourably contrasting the US and its Conceptual West allies against its global power rival and ideological counterpart, the Soviet Union.
