In the 'Over Here, Over There' podcast, we discuss our differences across borders and divides and how we can learn from them. In this episode, we hear two different perspectives from Germany and the United States regarding the most influential figure in US foreign policy since World War II. The recent passing of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stopped many people of a certain generation in their tracks. Kissinger dominated US foreign policy during some of the most difficult times of the Cold War. His consummate statecraft, boundless energy, and prodigious talents and intelligence were greatly admired. However, his use of power politics during the Vietnam War and support for authoritarian regimes earned him many critics, despite winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973. Claudia Koestler, Senior Editor at the Süddeutsche Zeitung, discusses with political and current affairs commentator Dan Harris, Kissinger's legacy from fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938 to his long career and life in the US.
