Brzezinski, the author of the famous geopolitical strategy book Grand Chessboard, was a key player in history. He served as Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor from 1977 to 1981.
During his tenure, momentous events took place – the US and China established formal diplomatic relationship (Jan 1979), the Iranian Revolution overthrew the Shah (Jan 1979), and the USSR invaded Afghanistan (Dec 1979).
Brzezinski played a critical role in all these historic events, especially in the Soviet-Afghanistan war where his strategy to help the Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union and turn Afghanistan into the Soviet’s Vietnam eventually led to the downfall of the USSR.
