520    "A fresh portrait of Henry Kissinger focusing on the 
       fundamental ideas underlying his policies: realism, 
       balance of power, and national interest. The Inevitability
       of Tragedy is a fascinating intellectual biography of 
       Henry Kissinger that examines his unique role in 
       government through his ideas. It analyzes the continuing 
       controversies surrounding Kissinger's policies in such 
       places as Vietnam and Chile by offering an understanding 
       of his definition of realism; his seemingly amoral belief 
       that foreign affairs must be conducted through a balance 
       of power; and his "un-American" view that promoting 
       democracy is most likely to result in repeated defeats for
       the United States. Barry Gewen places Kissinger's ideas in
       a European context by tracing them through his experience 
       as a refugee from Nazi Germany and exploring the links 
       between his notions of power and those of his mentor, Hans
       Morgenthau, the father of realism, as well as those of two
       other German-Jewish émigrés who shared his concerns about 
       the weaknesses of democracy: Leo Strauss and Hannah 
       Arendt"--|cProvided by publisher.
