Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State, a pivotal figure in shaping US foreign policy during the Cold War, has passed away at the age of 100. His influential role during the Nixon and Ford administrations extended beyond his time in office, as he continued to be a consultant for generations of leaders. Known for his Realpolitik style, Kissinger faced controversy, particularly for his involvement in the bombing campaign against Vietnamese communists in Cambodia, with critics accusing him of war crimes.
