On China is a 2011 nonfiction book by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Kissinger, one of the most famous diplomats of the 20th century, is well known for the role he played in Sino-American relations during the Nixon administration and in particular the 1972 Nixon visit to China.[1] Thus, his book focuses on Chinese history through the lens of foreign policy considerations, and in particular his own brand of realpolitik. In addition to pure history and discussion of foreign policy, the work is also something of a personal narrative of Kissinger's experiences in China,[2] and in that respect is a memoir intended to bolster positive perceptions of his expertise and influence when it comes to Chinese-American relations.[3]
