"The other secret to my father’s endurance is his sense of mission.

"Although he has been caricatured as a cold realist, he is anything but dispassionate.

"I know that no son can be truly objective about his father’s legacy, but I am proud of my father’s efforts to anchor statecraft with consistent principles and an awareness of historical reality."

He added: "This is the mission he has pursued for the better part of a century, using his rare brain and unflagging energy to serve the country that saved his family and launched him on a journey beyond his wildest dreams."
