Zbigniew Brzezinski, the hawkish strategic theorist and former US President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, has died at the age of 89.
Brzezinski’s death, at a hospital in Northern Virginia, was announced on Friday by his daughter, Mika, on Twitter.
“My father passed away peacefully tonight,” NBC journalist Mika Brzezinski said on Instagram.
“He was known to his friends as Zbig, to his grandchildren as Chief and to his wife as the enduring love of her life. I just knew him as the most inspiring, loving and devoted father any girl could ever have,” she wrote.
Brzezinski, like Henry A. Kissinger, was a foreign-born intellectual with extensive influence in global affairs.
