host: in reading the book, you seem to marvel at the diplomatic and political skills of henry kissinger. guest: i think i do. i also make pretty clear kissinger was a difficult boss, not an entirely pleasant person, somebody who flew into rages with subordinates, and whose policy judgment sometimes had to be tempered by people who were a little more thoughtful and cautious. he wasre was no doubt and remains a fascinating character with an ability to articulate foreign policy in interesting and thoughtful ways that is almost unmatched. host: you wrote the following. host: can you elaborate? guest: kissinger thought concessions in one area could yield soviet better behavior in other areas. in particular, settling some of the long-standing differences over central europe, which was the major flashpoint in the cold war, the one area that could have brought the u.s. and soviet union into a nuclear conflict that would have destroyed both societies. it would eventually also inerate soviet behavior other places where the u.s. and soviet union were engaged in proxy conflicts. those workplaces th

henry kissinger did not believe in the cords hanoi could leave its troops inside south vietnam. okay. the consequence is cords basically -- we win the war because we deseat the vee et congress. you get to '72 and the north vietnamese offensive in '72, they sent down every regular division they had. that wasn't a guerilla war. the guerilla war was over. the south vietnamese within the war. 90% of the people in south vietnam thought they were going to win. nobody want the communists to win. hanoi sends down all of its divisions, three main offensives. the south vietnamese army holds with american air power. not quite like iraq in recent years. south vietnamese stood up and fought. they took back qong xi. they had brilliant officers, never covered by the american press. that's why i say cords won. the people were mobilized because they could mobilize. the south vietnamese government could take all of their attention to the main force units in the mountains and by the borders where the american forces were, and then the american forces could go home. so by '73 all of the american co
