This is an auction for YEARS OF UPHEAVAL by Henry Kissinger.

Amazon.com review:

"FIVE STARS!!! This second volume of Henry Kissinger's memoirs begins with Nixon's sweeping victory in the 1972 presidential election over George McGovern. Nixon/Kissinger, now operating with an overwhelming national mandate, initiated some of the most formidable foreign policy initiatives in history. Success seemed inevitable. However, there was a cancer growing on the Nixon presidency, one that would ultimately prove fatal: Watergate. The Nixon/Kissinger team did the seemingly impossible by negotiating an end to the war in Vietnam. Sadly, after Congress refused further support to South Vietnam, all they could do was watch as the Communists systematically violated every agreement solemnly sworn to in Paris. His description of the strange alliance between liberals and conservatives to hamstring the presidency is interesting. George Wallace said, "Politics makes strange bedfellows!" Never were, "bedfellows," so strange as here. The crisis in the Mid-east made the author a legend. He describes the key leaders and analyses their positions and motivations brilliantly. From these analyses, the famous, "shuttle diplomacy" that forged a peace agreement between the seemingly intractable parties was born. Students of international relations should read this section carefully. Not all was well. Years of Upheaval is essential reading for historians of the period, political scientists and students of international relations. I highly recommend it to anyone desiring insight into the events of this turbulent era."
