Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to President Jimmy Carter, was one of America’s most influential foreign policy makers and thinkers. His rise from Polish immigrant to respected academic to the upper echelons of Washington was emblematic of a new kind of foreign policy professional and was shaped by the dramatic global events of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Over the decades, he influenced generations of national security strategists and practitioners. Edward Luce’s new biography of Brzezinski covers his unique life, work, and lasting impact on U.S. foreign policy.
