Kissinger held the posts of secretary of state from September 1973 to January 1977, serving under both Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He concurrently held the post of national security adviser from January 1969 to November 1975.
Kissinger played a dominant role in US foreign policy throughout the 1970s, a period that saw the relaxing of US-Soviet tensions, rapprochement with China and a US withdrawal from Vietnam.
