Henry Kissinger and the American Century
Jeremy argues that understanding the rise of Kissinger and his ideas is crucial in understanding the emergence of the US as a global superpower. Jeremy had exclusive access to meet with Kissinger multiple times to gain insight into his decisions and ideas. Kissinger praised Jeremy's book about him, but also admitted that it was mostly wrong. The book is titled Henry Kissinger and the American Century. In the book, Jeremy explores the concept of the American Century and how Kissinger fits into it. The United States undergoes a profound transformation in the 20th century, which even figures like Abraham Lincoln wouldn't recognize. This transformation is seen as a positive thing as societies must evolve while keeping their values intact.
