Henry Alfred Kissinger is one of the great diplomats of American history. A gifted, humorous, often devious man, Kissinger has been a controversial figure. But even his critics give him credit for having exerted enormous influence over American foreign policy between 1968-1976. Kissinger was born in Fuerth?, Germany, on May 27 1923, came to New York City in 1938, and was naturalized a United States citizen on June 19, 1943. He spent his high school years in the Washington Heights section of upper Manhattan, but has never lost his pronounced German accent. Kissinger's brother, once asked why he spoke unaccented English when Henry did not, replied "I listen more than Henry does." Henry Kissinger received the BA Degree Summa Cum Laude at [Harvard College]? in 1950 and the MA and PhD Degrees at Harvard University in 1952 and 1954 respectively. |
