As a member of the US Army's 84th Infantry Division, Henry returned to his homeland during World War II. He worked as translator in intelligence op.
He had a standout career at Harvard University Faculty. Later, he joined Richard Nixon's administration as national security adviser in 1969.

Henry Kissinger was given Nobel Peace Prize for work on the Paris peace talks. It has been touted as one of the most controversial awards in history.
The Argentine army believed that Kissinger gave them the go-ahead to conduct the 'dirty war' to clear the leftist dissidents.
Henry Kissinger's relationship with India was tumultuous. He backed Pakistan against India in the 1971 war.
In the conversation between Nixon and Kissinger, both men called Indira Gandhi a bi**h and called Indians most sexless and pathetic people.
