A portrait of the Secretary of State. The hour, opens with Dr. Kissinger recalling his boyhood in Germany (he was nine when the Nazis came to power) service with US Army Intelligence, and academic career at Hadvard.
The secretary is also filmed during a "typical working day" in Washington. From 7AM to 11PM, the hours are filled with appointments and conferences, including meetings with President Nixon, Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger and State Department aides.
The Kissinger style however, is epitomized by scenes of his "shuttle diplomacy," meetings with Soviet and Chinese leaders in Moscow and Peking, and the recent month-long peace mission in the Middle East, culminating in an Israeli-Syrian accord to separate their armies on the Golan Heights.
