Statement of Former Senator Sam Nunn Regarding Henry Kissinger

Henry Kissinger made significant contributions to American security and global leadership while in office and continuing all of his life. I was fortunate to work with him, travel with him, learn from him and enjoy his friendship.

He had a brilliant grasp of history and was a global strategist without peer. He was a superb writer and speaker, whose ego was well balanced with a great sense of humor.

He was quick to understand that when threats change, we need to think anew. During our work together alongside George Shultz and Bill Perry in support of the vision and steps toward a world without nuclear weapons, I saw his often unrecognized, but always present, deep commitment to build a more just and peaceful world.
