Henry Kissinger, a retired US diplomat, is widely remembered for shaping US foreign policy, albeit with many controversies that continue to mire his time in office over several decades.
After his wartime service, he graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College in 1950, then received his MA and PhD degrees from Harvard University in 1952 and 1954. In Chile, he backed the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who overthrew democratically-elected socialist President Salvador Allende. As Nixon sought to bring about the end to the war, Kissinger allegedly ordered bombings in Cambodia and Laos to hit Hanoi's supplies. According to reports, Kissinger approved 3,875 bombing raids.
