163 pages "A vital ingredient in the success of Dr Kissinger's visit was the role played by Pakistan as the intermediary, with Ambassador Agha Hilaly in Washington, and President Yahya Khan in Islamabad acting as the conduits for clandestine messages being relayed between the White House and Beijing.
