Paperback. Condition: Used. Henry Kissinger: The Private and Public Story (1975) By Ralph Blumenfeld ? Signet ISBN: None (because history didn?t always come barcoded), Condition: Used, as sold by Crappy Old Books This is the book you pick up when you think, ?I?d quite like to understand the most talked-about diplomat of the 20th century? but in a very 1975 way.? Ralph Blumenfeld?s Henry Kissinger: The Private and Public Story arrives from an era when powerful men were analysed in paperback form, with grainy black-and-white photos and chapter titles that promised revelation while mostly offering politely investigative curiosity. It?s political biography before the internet, before social media outrage, before podcasts?back when your hot take came printed, yellowing, and smelling faintly of someone else?s living room. Inside this Signet time capsule, you?ll find Kissinger presented as both global chess player and complicated human being, filtered through the lens of mid-70s commentary. Expect references to world events that were still current , hairstyles that were still fashion , and assumptions about geopolitics that have aged about as gracefully as the glue in this paperback?s spine. Speaking of the spine: this copy has survived cabinet reshuffles, regime changes, and at least one house move, possibly two. Sold proudly by Crappy Old Books , it comes with: Authentic shelf wear ? the kind you can?t fake, achieved only through decades of being picked up, put down, and occasionally used as a coaster during late-night ?what does it all mean?? conversations. Soft, gently war-weary pages ? slightly tanned, possibly annotated, definitely opinionated. Zero ISBN ? because back then, a book didn?t need a 13-digit identity number to feel important. Blumenfeld?s prose walks you through the ?public? Kissinger?summits, speeches, strategic handshakes?and then peeks carefully at the ?private? man, as far as a mid-70s paperback dare go. You get the sense of a world trying very hard to understand power, personality, and foreign policy without benefit of hindsight or FOI requests?just interviews, impressions, and that unshakeable 1970s belief that a mass-market paperback could explain everything. Is this the definitive word on Henry Kissinger? Absolutely not. Is it a fascinating, slightly dated, deeply readable artefact of how he was seen at the time ? Completely. It?s like reading history with the commentary track recorded while the film was still playing. Ideal for: Readers who enjoy political biographies with a faint smell of nicotine and old armchairs. Collectors of odd, earnest paperbacks that try to decode complicated people using simple chapter headings. Anyone who thinks modern punditry moves too fast and would like to see how slowly?and confidently?opinions used to age. Cracked spine, softened corners, and a cover that has definitely seen some things: this book won?t just tell you about Henry Kissinger. It?ll tell you about 1975, about how we used to write about power, and about a time when ?the private and public story? fit comfortably between two flaking card covers. Come for the statesman. Stay for the nostalgia. Leave with a slightly crooked, heavily seasoned slice of Cold War paperback history?courtesy of Crappy Old Books , where yesterday?s urgent analysis is today?s oddly charming relic. With 16 pages of photographs (black and white).

Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First. Ralph David Blumenfeld (pen-name R.D.B.,1864 1948) was an American-born journalist, writer and newspaper editor who is chiefly notable for having been in charge of the British newspaper Daily Express from 1902 to 1932. A close friend of several politicians, he was said to have been one of the few people who induced Calvin Coolidge to talk, while leading a visit of journalists to the White House in 1927. This book contains stories of the author's early years in the old West, before he went on to becoming a journalist, first in the US and then in England. This uncommon volume is very good in red cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Slight fading and bumping at the spine ends. There appears to be some wrinkling of the cloth on the lower rear board, possibly from water contact, but not showing any damage internally. The unclipped DJ has small missing chips at spine ends and minor soiling and edge wear in general. There is a lengthy inscription by the author on the title page, dated December 1944. Blumenfeld suffered a stroke in 1936 and retired to his home in rural England until his death in 1948. Signed copies of his books are very scarce.
