Abstract
The article focuses on Edward Luce's biography of Zbigniew Brzezinski, a significant yet often underappreciated figure in U.S. national security history. It highlights Brzezinski's influential role as national security adviser under President Jimmy Carter, particularly in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards the Soviet Union and China. The biography details Brzezinski's intellectual journey, his strategic insights during the Cold War, and his involvement in pivotal events such as the normalization of relations with China and the Iran hostage crisis. Luce's work aims to correct the historical narrative that has often overshadowed Brzezinski's contributions compared to his rival, Henry Kissinger. [Extracted from the article]
