Post books on and lightly politicians (American or otherwise) with interesting or important history behind them or their actions. Keep it short and civil: nobody likes scrolling through your word war over exactly how kosher most kosher salt is.

Picked up pic related on a whim because I remember being fascinated by Kissinger's political activity in high school. Have not began reading it yet. Also ended up with a book on Reagan called When Character was Key, also unopened

Goddamn I love reading Kissinger. Read all his tomes on his White House years.

Lucid and brilliant writer. I've also read his other stuff. Strongly recommended; highly patrician stuff.

What I like about him is how European his mindset is despite being a US guy.

This could be a really interesting thread but nobody's posted very much yet. There are a lot of really good political biographies out there that don't get any attention because they aren't about presidents or current political trends.

Starting with The Power Broker, phenomenal book on the rise and fall of Robert Moses, who exercised more power over New York than just about any other figure for 30 years. Caro is well-known so this work might be familiar, but it really is a tremendous examination of power, especially since it isn't military or executive power.

Master of the Senate is the other classic Caro book, it covers LBJ's rise in the Senate from relative obscurity to national importance. Winding through it are the lives of the whole nation, segregationist senators, reforming liberals, Kennedy, Eisenhower, etc. Caro's tangents on the history of the Senate and the Civil Rights Movement are richer than many full books on the subject.

I'm sorry the thread turned into such shit, but I'd like to recommend Martin Anderson's Revolution. Anderson is pretty biased (for which reason I don't suggest you read any of his other books), but he was around Reagan for much of the crucial period needed to understand Reagan as a phenomenon. Mostly, people are excited about or care about the president in the limited period before he becomes just The President™, and Anderson was there. More importantly, he was an early convert. The book is a good mix of personal opinion (underrated), insider knowledge, and pure smarts (often missed).

On that note, I think Diplomacy is a good book because, not despite, its often extreme bias. Kissinger has a certain view of the world, and pushes it with an aggressiveness and intellectual rigor that's rarely seen. He's not necessarily right, but seeing that anyone in undergrad history has the ability to discern his argument here would give me genuine hope.

To all the anons about Kissinger studies.

The Meaning of History: Reflections on Spengler, Toynbee and Kant, was Kissinger's senior honors thesis at Harvard. Kissinger's doctoral dissertationPeace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium (A Study of the Statesmanship of Castlereagh and Metternich)was later published with the titleA World Restored: Metternich, Castlereagh and the Problems of Peace 1812-1822(1957).

You can find A World Restored on libgen.

Classical Realism contained Structural Realism. The state of Anarchy is literally copy-pasted from Hobbes, which presumes a kind of Human nature as it's core argument; removing it from a human nature argument doesn't make any sense, and Hobbes also didn't think people were innately evil. NeoRealism assumes nations are black-boxes, which they aren't. Classical Realism understood the structure of the international system as one of many forces acting on the state, but also accounted for internal influences and, as Waltz would put it, all 3 "levels of analysis". Maybe it's just the natural outcome of the general shift in many humanities subjects towards a social science rather than philosophy, and in that context it is understandable to want to get rid of the less "empirical" elements, but it seems rather limiting to me.

Excellent recommendations. I've read them all except the last one.

I would like to comment on and emphasize Irving's book.
I deliberately ignored him for a while (because of his dubious exculpation of the Fuhrer), and I was astonished how excellent a writer he is!

Try to read the opening chapter of his "Goebbels", which is freely available.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 30 04:26:39 2018 No.11393543 >>11393535 it probably won't even be especially interesting. It occurs to me that I think Robert Dallek's Nixon and Kissinger summarizes it. I know it has something about the doctoral thesis.

I'm this guy >>11381210 and don't have access to it. Still, here's the Dallek stuff:
>"As with everything else, the thesis set Henry apart from all the many brilliant Harvard undergraduates then and before who had written senior papers. A 377- page treatise on “The Meaning of History: Reflections on Spengler, Toynbee and Kant,” the thesis was the longest ever written by an undergraduate. So long, in fact, that Friedrich refused to read more than 150 pages and the Government department introduced a rule limiting such papers to 40,000 words. Marred by turgid prose and convoluted arguments, the thesis nevertheless helped make Henry summa cum laude in his 1950 graduating class and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Despite its flaws, the paper was an impressive achievement for a man in his twenties, asking questions not just about the meaning of history but also about man’s existence. It was, in historian Stephen Graubard’s view, “a kind of personal statement,” an existential assertion of the individual’s responsibility for his fate despite unmanageable historical crosscurrents. “Is man doomed to struggle without certainty and live without assurance?” Kissinger asked. “In a sense that is so. Man cannot achieve a guarantee for his conduct. No technical solutions to the dilemmas of life are at hand. That is the fatedness of existence. But it also poses a challenge, an evocation of the sense of responsibility to give one’s own meaning to one’s life. . . . The experience of freedom enables us to rise beyond the suffering of the past and the frustrations of history.” In brief, Henry had no intention of letting the horrors of his past and the world’s recent history make him cynical about leading a life of constructive activity. His grandiosity, which was evident in so outsized a thesis—both as a topic and a finished product— would be a valuable aid in advancing him toward personal success in a postwar America alive with opportunity for so bright and ambitious a young man."

Anybody have a PDF of pic related or any other books by Spiro Agnew? I've been looking for this and The Canfield Decision for a long time. Also, any books about Agnew would be appreciated as well

I hadn't realised there were many Kissinger fans on /lit/. I don't have his undergrad thesis, but a few years ago I was able to track down a copy of the first volume of an academic journal Kissinger convened and edited when he was a student. I don't think theres any copies of it available online, but if any of you anons are interested I could probably find some time to scan it.

Pic is the Journal
