Abstract
This short paper reviews and analyzes Henry Kissinger's massive work "Diplomacy." The paper examines some perceived flaws in Kissinger's outlook, including his lack of analysis of historical trends which have traditionally influenced foreign policy. The author also criticizes Kissinger for not acknowledging the role of American idealism in US foreign relations.
From the Paper
"Henry Kissinger was nothing if not polarizing during his tenure in the Nixon presidential administration; he has continued to divide observers violently after his tenure in politics is over through his public commentary and political analysis of foreign policy. In Diplomacy, Kissinger takes on the task of analyzing the perceived success or failure of foreign policies spanning all of modern history, and much of the eras which preceded it. In this massive tome, Kissinger's opinions regarding leadership and successful politics are evident, and while he makes a cogent and compelling argument for his own opinions, the book also presents something of a reader as to why Kissinger's policies and tactics have remained so controversial. This essay will address two of the major flaws with Kissinger's analysis of foreign policy throughout history: first, his emphasis on the personality of leaders as the primary factor behind their policy, and second, his unrepentant realism with regard to foreign policy and his continued refusal to acknowledge the role which American idealism has played in foreign policy throughout the modern era."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine Diplomacy by Henry A. Kissinger. The plan of the research will be to set forth the theme of and pattern of ideas in the book and then to discuss the style, emphasis, sources, organization, bias of the author, and other features that comprise the means by which the theme is elaborated, as well as Kissinger's career--all with a view toward providing an evaluation of the contributions it makes to an understanding of the subjects it undertakes.
The theme of Diplomacy has a double perspective, one historical and the other critical. From one point of view, it is a historical survey of some three hundred years worth of international relations in and among the nation-states of Europe and the United States. The survey seems partly meant to show that certain problems now being faced by the West have roots as far back as .."

Kissinger's Diplomacy, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines how Henry Kissinger used a very unique policy of diplomacy when he was Secretary of State during President Nixon's term of office. It explains that Kissinger did not like being a team-player and preferred to make most of the decisions alone. During his term, he focused on the relationship with Europe and the paper discusses how this policy was different to his predecessors.
From the Paper
"In a recent article "History and Henry Kissinger" , Robert Beisner makes a very careful distinction between an American Secretary of State and his corps of diplomats and bureaucrats, and Kissinger, who renounced "diplomacy by consensus", in fact disliked the term "diplomat" and asserted the power of a Statesman in deciding the direction of American foreign policy. In this book, Kissinger's every move seems to have been constructed to overcome the democratic barriers of foreign policy. He did not want team-work. He often disregarded Nixon's memoranda. He wanted to be known for daring, for taking unusual chances, and for succeeding"

Henry Kissinger's Political Philosophy, 1999.

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
This study will examine the political philosophy of Henry Kissinger, particularly in terms of his views on power. The study will include a variety of opinions held by political theorists on Kissinger's dealings in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and elsewhere. Kissinger attained a high reputation in the media during his time as Secretary of State and was praised for his "shuttle diplomacy" and for other actions seen as leading toward peace. Yet, history shows that peace was not achieved and that many of the situations into which Kissinger thrust himself and, sometimes, American military might were only made worse as a consequence. We are still coping with many of the issues raised by Kissinger's actions to this day. At the same time, though, Kissinger remains an icon for some and is ..."

Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, 1994.

From the Paper
"At least in modern times, no President and Secretary of State are more closely linked than Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Technically, Kissinger was Secretary of State only during the latter part of Nixon's time in office, but William P. Rogers, who held the office in Nixon's earlier years, when Kissinger was National Security Advisor, made little impact at the time and is largely forgotten now.
Indeed, though it has been nearly two decades since Kissinger had any public position, he remains by far the bestknown of recent American secretaries of state. Likewise, Nixon stands out, after two decades, as for good or ill the most "important" of recent American presidents. He had a greater and more enduring impact on America and the world than any of his successors, or indeed, any of his predecessors since Harry..."

Abstract
Lawrence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh both produced film versions of Henry V, but they were both very different interpretations. This paper concentrates on Act I Scene I and discusses both directors' editing of the original play and how that affected the portrayal of "King Henry V".
From the Paper
"A good king is a moral one who listens to his advisors, who fights only just wars and who has overcome youthful wildness to emerge as a man ?full of grace and fair regard? (1.1.22). Or, a good king is a strong one who makes his own decisions, who fights any wars that benefit his country, and who has never had any youthful wildness to overcome. Shakespeare leaves the interpretation of his king in King Henry the Fifth to the audience, and Henry?s character has subsequently been performed in multiple ways. Lawrence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh both portray Henry as a good king in their screen adaptations of the play, but Olivier tends towards the former version of Henry as the morally just king and Branagh is more inclined to the latter version of Henry as the strong but immoral king."

Henry Adams's "The Education of Henry Adams".
This paper reviews Henry Adams's "The Education of Henry Adams; Henry Adams was the grandson of John Quincy Adams and the great-grandson of John Adams.

Abstract
This paper explains that Henry Adams's "The Education of Henry Adams" is subtitled as a biography, but doesn't actually tell the story of Henry Adams life; instead, it looks at how he developed his mental ideas and opinions based on historical, political, and philosophical contemplation of the things that were going on during his time. The author points out that, in the "The Education of Henry Adams," Adams places a great deal of criticism on himself and the entire world, which can be very satiric and biting, but there is warmth and humor contained within the book. The paper relates that one small downside to the book is that Adams appears to generalize everything to the point that it often appears he is lumping too many individuals together and does not allow various individual opinions to actually come through.
From the Paper
"Much of what the book has to offer, however, deals with the power that was had at the time by Christianity and the church and how this power was changed and forced into submission by Darwin's theory of evolution, and much of the power that technology had over individuals during that time. To discuss technology, Adams mentions the Paris exposition that he attended in 1900 and the dynamos that were present there. After he saw this type of technology coming to the front the also realized that Darwinism was causing so much chaos in the world and he felt that there was so much power in technology that the church was not able to withstand the onslaught."

Abstract
The falsification of the audience?s expectations and Hal?s miraculous emergence as a great English king, alongside the Hal-Falstaff relationship out of which the future king?s identity is gradually constructed, are the main critical puzzles in most studies of the William Shakespeare's "King Henry" series. The paper examines concepts of fraud and politics in parts one and two of "King Henry IV" and in "King Henry V". It discusses notions by literary critics such as Stephen who claim that Hal is one of Shakespeare?s most Machiavellian characters. The paper argues that Machiavelli?s Prince is not sufficiently cruel or sophisticated to be ranked with Prince Hal, despite the fact that Falstaff?s cry for help, voiced in his paradoxical accusation that the Prince has corrupted him, seldom succeeds in inverting the audience?s impression that Falstaff is Hal?s misleader.
From the Paper
"The concept of necessity, as it arises from the morality-patterned Phychomachia, reinforces providentialist notions, an idea first advanced by Tillyard but in a rather different context. Religious providentialism fuses the personal and political domains and Hal?s borrowing from the theatrical and diachronic anthropological deposit causes the interweaving of theatrical illusion with politics, thus displaying their common structural patterns. The fusion of religion, politics and theatre culminates in Hal?s gradual conversion to virtue, which is at once a milestone in Hal?s allegedly privileged relationship with God, a major political event, and a stock trick of Elizabethan drama."

From the Paper
"The three history plays by Shakespeare known as the Henriad are comprised of Henry IV: Part I, Henry IV: Part II, and Henry V. Richard III is actually the beginning of the historical sequence, but the three plays of the Henriad are concerned specifically with the development and ascension of Henry V (formerly Prince Hal) to the throne of England. In the course of the three plays, Prince Hal changes from a rather wastrel youth to a mature king, and in his development Henry becomes what would be considered a Christian rathe than a Machiavellian prince, dedicated to cetain principles rather than to the principle that how a king rules is in itself always right.
Throughout these plays, including Richard III, there is a search for national unity is found in Henry V:
The principal theme of Henry V, already approached in..."

Abstract
This paper shows the large role that Henry Kissinger played during the Yom Kippur War and how his actions affected the war's outcome.
From the Paper
"In an attempt to break Egypt away from Soviet control, Richard Nixon had gradually been improving relations with Egypt?s Anwar al-Sadat. In 1972, Sadat removed Soviet advisors from his country and wanted to open negotiations with the United States. Nixon, however, wanted to put Egyptian-American rapprochement on hold until after the conflict in Vietnam had been settled because Israeli occupation of the Suez Canal kept that possible Soviet supply route closed. The Israelis did not want to negotiate with Egypt, but Nixon was willing to force them to, as soon as he could end Vietnam. As presented in class, once Henry Kissinger gained full power within the administration, he would reverse this policy, stonewalling any settlement in the Middle East and manufacturing a crisis between Egypt and Israel to produce another opportunity to explore US-Soviet detente."

Henry the VIII, 2002.
A look at two historical perspectives of Henry the VIII in " Henry VIII: The King and His Court" by Alison Weir and "Henry VIII: The Mask of Royalty" by Lacey Smith.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "Henry VIII: The King and His Court" by Alison Weir, and the book "Henry VIII: The Mask of Royalty" by Lacey Smith, and seek to show how the first book gives us a clear look at the true Henry the VIII in action. By revealing the more Catholic and harsh view of Henry the VIII in Lacey's book, we find the Protestant reformer that is part of Weir's study to show his defiance to the Church of Rome. By pointing out both of the theories on the great King, we can see how Weir's book tells a more accurate story for Henry's rebellion against the Catholic Church.

Foreign Policy, Media Diplomacy and Propaganda, 2006.
This paper examines the role of media diplomacy, public diplomacy and propaganda in the reporting of the meeting between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel on April 15, 2004.

Abstract
The paper looks at several different reports of this event and analyzes how the use of media and public diplomacy, along with propaganda, shape the way in which news is actually reported. The paper discusses how the United States focused on the commitment to fighting terrorism as its outcome of the meeting, the Middle-East focused on the United States' public support of the continued oppression of the Palestinians while the United Kingdom saw it as another act of arrogance by the Bush administration and used it as an attack on its own Prime Minister. The paper shows how vastly different the reports of one event can be and what one event can mean to so many different people.
From the Paper
"Public and media diplomacy are closely related and often confused with each other. Public diplomacy is defined as a one-sided, usually half truthful communication designed to persuade public opinion where media diplomacy is essentially the same but uses a television medium to get the point across either locally or internationally. Many media and press outlets utilized this particular event to get their one-sided point across to the only audience that mattered, the one that was listening."

The Struggle towards Unity in ?Henry IV?, 2004.
A look at how William Shakespeare, in his "Henry IV, Parts I and II", emphasizes the ideas of struggle and progress through his characterizations of Henry and Hal.

Abstract
This paper examines William Shakespeare's plays, "Henry IV, Parts I and II", and, in particular, looks at how Henry misjudges his son and cannot see that Hal, who is not guilty of usurpation and regicide, will be able to unite the now divided kingdom. It shows how Henry?s faults and strengths cause him to symbolically reflect the struggle for progress, represented by the bridge between the corruption of England during Richard II?s reign and the unity of Henry V?s kingdom. It also explores how, after the ?struggle? ceases and Henry IV dies, Prince Hal becomes King Henry V ,and the previously divided nation progresses by integration.
From the Paper
"Hal?s adoption of the commoners is best described by the Duke of Warwick when he says: ?The Prince but studies his companions, / Like a strange tongue? to gain the language?? (Pt. II, IV, iv, 76-78.) Hal is like a growing tree basking in the sun, Henry IV is the gardener who planted Hal?s seed, and the commoners form one of Hal?s developing branches. By growing into a man ?of all humors,? (Pt. I, II, iv, 89) Hal is becoming his entire nation in an individual form, which is symbolically what a king is. Hal has studied the commoners well and is able to both talk and think like them, as portrayed in Hal?s witty exchanges with Falstaff. Hal?s desire to adapt to the needs of the various peoples of his country foreshadows the harmony that will dominate England when he is king."

Ministers of Henry VIII, 2002.
A discussion on how well Henry VIII was served by his ministers, focusing on the roles of Wolsey and Cromwell, with a brief look at the lesser lights of Henry's reign, More, Fox, Warham and Gardiner.

Abstract
The following paper examines how well Wolsey and Cromwell supported Henry's ambitions to be a great and grand king. The writer argues that Wolsey's role was to administer, whereas Cromwell reformed and created, and it was mainly due to his efforts that the reign of Henry VIII is seen as a critical point in the transition from medieval to modern government.
From the Paper
"A succession of ministers served Henry VIII during his reign, although today only two, possibly three, names come to mind. Cardinal Wolsey and Thomas Cromwell were the two pre-eminent servants of Henry's reign with others such as Fox, Warham and Gardiner taking a lesser role. Sir Thomas More is possibly better known today for a modern play about him than for what he achieved in three years as Lord Chancellor after Wolsey's fall."

Abstract
An evaluation of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon's foreign policy during the Angolan civil war. The author discusses the events that led up to American involvement in Angola as well as the results of her involvement.
From the Paper
"By the spring of 1974, Henry Kissinger?s new world order strategy was falling apart. As put forth in lecture, the collapse of the Portuguese colonial empire would give Kissinger an opportunity to salvage his strategy. As the Portuguese government debated between complete independence and a type of dominion status for its colonies, three political major groups, all with armed forces in the field, vied for control in Angola. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) was led by Augustinho Neto and weakly supported by the Soviet Union. The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), led by Holden Roberto, was nominally supported by the United States, and National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Unita), led by Jonas Savimbi, was supported by South Africa."
