With deep sadness, The Jamestown Foundation marks the passing of Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, a world-renowned international affairs expert and the National Security Advisor to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

In his new book, “Zbigniew Brzezinski: America’s Grand Strategist,” Justin Vaïsse, historian and director of the Policy Planning staff of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, offers the first full biography of Brzezinski, an immigrant who completed a remarkable journey from his native Poland to the White House.
