Henry Kissinger is almost unique in contemporary politics in combining deep intellect with a remarkable record of practical statesmanship. His latest book is as magisterial as all his others ... its real value lies in Kissinger's historical perspective ... Kissinger argues all [his] points brilliantly (Jonathan Powell Daily Telegraph)

A brilliantly conceived and executed book even by Henry Kissinger's very high standards ... In keeping with his admirable custom, he summarizes vast and complex matters with the simple authority of someone who thoroughly commands the material and has learned his art by study and practice, and this volume showcases his erudition, which flows evenly and elegantly throughout ... World Order is brilliant from start to finish, including its treatment of Iranian-American relations, Israel and Palestine, nuclear proliferation, and the dangers of cyber war. The author's talents bear comparison with some of the foreign ministers whose careers he describes, including Talleyrand and Metternich; he has produced a work of genius (New Criterion Conrad Black)

A confident, neatly-constructed world pageant (Rory Stewart MP Sunday Times)

Part history, part lecture, part memoir ... Kissinger's conclusion deserves to be read and understood by all candidates ahead of the 2016 presidential election. World order depends on it (Lionel Barber Financial Times)

Henry Kissinger ... still has remarkable influence. Reading this book, you can see why ... the wit, clarity and concision of his chapters on Europe, America and jihadism are bracing (Economist)

The clarity of [Kissinger's] thinking [is] abundantly in evidence in this admirable book ... The Foreign Office would do well to read it from beginning to end (Christopher Meyer The Times)
