Overview
The untold story of how Henry Kissinger spent five decades shaping his legacy—and the institutions that helped him do it.
Nearly fifty years after leaving public office, Henry Kissinger remained one of the most admired—and controversial—figures in American public life. Super K reveals how he manufactured this extraordinary fame. Drawing on previously unseen private correspondence and interviews with journalists and editors he courted and battled, historian Barbara J. Keys exposes the machinery Kissinger used to build and defend his reputation.
From fierce battles over his record in Cambodia and Chile to high-stakes confrontations with television networks and major publishers, Kissinger pioneered a new model of the modern political celebrity. Deploying charm, pressure, secrecy, and threats, he executed a relentless campaign that undermined the institutions tasked with holding power to account.
Super K is not just a portrait of one man’s quest to shape history; it is a sweeping account of the media and elite institutions that enabled him, revealing vulnerabilities that still shape public and political life today. Insightful and deeply researched, this is a definitive look at how reputations are manufactured and why they matter.
