[0:05:55 - 0:06:13] National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under President Nixon and Ford, the Harvard Academic, nuclear strategist, the man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Vietnam War, but who is also considered by many, a war criminal. That, Henry Kissinger.

national security adviser, marking the start of his most infamous chapter.
[0:48:19 - 0:48:25] Kissinger's time in the White House is
National Security Advisor from 1969 to 1975.
[0:49:41 - 0:49:50] Officially, these groups members typically included the
National Security Advisor, senior officials from the CIA, and representatives from the State and Defense Departments.
