"Book Review: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Foreign Policy Sage"by Michael D. MosettigZbigniew Brzezinski, the Polish immigrant who became President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, packed many accomplishments into an 89-year lifetime: strategic thinker; scholar; teacher; prolific writer, author and analyst-commentator; adviser to presidential candidates and officials. That busy life also included more than 80 appearances on the PBS NewsHour, going back to 1976 when the then half-hour program was known as the MacNeil/Lehrer Report.This more-than-full life is now chronicled in “Zbigniew Brzezinski: America’s Grand Strategist,” a biography from French official and scholar Justin Vaisse (who also has been a NewsHour guest).And while books will keep appearing about Brzezinski’s mostly friendly rival Henry Kissinger, this 505-page work (in small type that will be hard on the eyes of the age cohort most likely to read it) will probably stand for some time as the definitive portrayal of a sharp mind and sometimes sharp tongue that attracted critics and opponents, as well as admirers and such famous proteges and colleagues as Madeleine Albright and Robert Gates.© NewsHour Productions LLC.
