Kissinger, Henry (1923–) U.S. statesman, born in Fürth, Germany. Kissinger served as national security advisor (1969–75) and secretary of state (1973–77). During his tenure (the administrations of Presidents
Richard M. Nixon and
Gerald R. Ford), he helped to craft the policy of
détente with the Soviet Union and to end U.S. involvement in
Vietnam. Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing about the 1973 ceasefire in Vietnam, though the cessation was short-lived. Before assuming roles of national prominence, Kissinger had become a noted academic specialist in international relations and nuclear strategy while a professor of government at Harvard University. During
World War II (1939–45) he served with the army and remained in Germany with the occupation forces.
