About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1979. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A witty chronicle of life on the road with the most well-traveled and high-powered diplomat of his time, Henry Kissinger. Wherever Kissinger was, NBC's prize-winning correspondent Richard Valeriani was not far behind, shuttling in the Middle East or falling asleep at the opera in Peking. Valeriani jetted over half a million miles with the former Secretary of State--more than any other correspondent. From his close-up vantage point, he watched Kissinger negotiate his way through Moscow, Peking, Cairo, Jerusalem and many other world capitals, quipping all the way. He saw the unbuttoned Henry--acerbic, wisecracking or rampaging--and he saw the wise and patient diplomat. He also watched Kissinger grow in girth as he grew in stature, eating when he was nervous, nervous when he was negotiating, and negotiating all the time. This book is flavored with a variety of previously unrelated anecdotes involving Richard Nixon, Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin, Chou En-lai, Mao Tse-tung, Leonid Brezhnev and Hugo Banzer. TRAVELS WITH HENRY also provides meaningful background for understanding the developments in the Middle East and the rapprochement between the United States and China in the NIxon era, and it gives unique insights into the chief international U.S. negotiator of his day. Illustrated with cartoons and photographs. Fine (w/ previous owner's signature on up front endpaper, hidden under flap), in red cloth boards, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.NFBS2
