The former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, has died at the age of 100

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger dies at the age of 100.

He died Wednesday (Nov. 29) at his home in Connecticut, according to a statement from his consulting firm, Kissinger Associates. But the statement does not state the cause of death.

Kissinger served as America's top diplomat and national security adviser during the Nixon and Ford administrations.

The famed diplomat has advised several presidents during his long career, including Joe Biden, and won a joint Nobel Prize for negotiating an end to the Vietnam War.

Kissinger was a Harvard academic before becoming national security adviser when Nixon won the White House in 1968. Working closely with the president, he had influence over important decisions regarding the Vietnam War, including the secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969 and 1970. This was part of what Nixon called the "madman theory," an attempt to make North Vietnam believe that the US president would do absolutely anything to end the war.
