Niall Ferguson is Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University and author of fourteen award-winning books on finance and economics, politics and history. He appears in conversation with Roy Eisenhardt, former Executive Director of the California Academy of Sciences, to discuss the first volume of the authorized biography of Henry Kissinger, KISSINGER: 1923-1968: The Idealist. Based on unprecedented access to his private papers, letters, and lengthy interviews with the subject himself, Ferguson examines Kissinger's formative years, from his childhood in interwar Germany and forced emigration to the US through his Harvard career and becoming an adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, showing what Kissinger achieved before he was appointed national security adviser to Nixon was astonishing in its own right.
