Breaking: Nixon Era Fixture Henry Kissinger Has Died at 100 Stephen Kruiser
Henry Kissinger, one of the most dominant figures of the Watergate and Vietnam War eras, has died.
Former presidential adviser Henry Kissinger has died, according to a statement posted on his website, bringing to a close one of the most polarizing and influential diplomatic lives in U.S. history.
He died Wednesday at his home in Connecticut, said a statement by his consulting firm. He was 100 years old.
The German-born academic was the only American official ever to concurrently serve as both secretary of state and White House national security adviser, giving him immense power during the Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford presidencies. That helped him end the U.S. war in Vietnam and to shape American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War.
