![]() I conclude that while World Order often fails to engage with many of the major academic debates of our time, it remains an important work in the canon of Realism for successfully summarizing Kissinger’s oeuvre in the service of the busy policy practitioner and the interested public. Third, I point out certain flaws in Kissinger’s historical narrative, and contextualize his project from a historian’s perspective. Moving from a sweeping overview of history to blow-by-blow accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Henry Kissinger describes how the art of diplomacy has created the world in which we live, and how Americas approach to foreign affairs has always differed vastly from that of other nations. ![]() Second, I explore Kissinger’s descriptions of the three international orders – the Westphalian, the Asian, and the Islamic, arguing that they are somewhat removed from the contemporary academic debates, and ponder over how this should influence the way we read Kissinger’s project. First, I reconstruct the broad sweep of the book’s arguments, point out its various strengths, and explore the overall purpose of the book in the context of Kissinger’s work, life, and times. This long essay seeks to address the many issues raised in World Order and highlighted by the reviewers in three parts. ![]()

Of a previous version, Lahiri writes, “I found the translation underwhelming and nearly as impenetrable. Jhumpa Lahiri laments likewise in her preface to this edition. While many mentors and friends had recommended this novel to me over the years, I could never get into it, in large part because of the inaccessible translations that preceded this one. Moore required a decade of work, not to mention an additional revision needed in light of the passages about the Great Plague of Milan (1629-1631) sounding so relevant to the recent 2020 epidemic. Only a masterpiece deserves such perseverance, and Alessandro Manzoni’s 1827 Italian novel The Betrothed ranks among the greatest classics, to be shelved alongside Les Miserables, War and Peace, and Moby Dick. ![]() ![]() Imagine the dedication needed to translate such an epic.
