 The white paper on the defence policy of France

The  defence policy of France was largely a policy that was initiated in the years between 1958-1989. There were reforms after the collapse of the totalitarian regimes of Eastern Europe and the white paper released in the middle of this month is as decisive in its orientations as the last white paper. Le monde carried a good article on this issue in its edition of 19 June 2008.

There will be two materials on the former secretary of state. The first evaluation is the biography of Henry Kissinger by Jeremi Suri.  The researcher used extensively sixteen different archival collections and his publication is a perfect example of academic work because he presented in a compelling way, the Harvard years and the emergence of the strategic thoughts of the academician turned presidential adviser. While we wait for www.amazon.com reviewers  to express their views on this biography. Nial Ferguson is working on another biography of the US secretary of state and when the two publications are available, researchers will have a better view of the life of the former adviser to President Nixon.
