Brzezinski's foreign 'policy' during the Carter administration, as he has since admitted without regret, was to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan in December, 1979. The idea, he said, was to weaken their rival superpower and the result was a ten-year occupation that cost the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Afghans and spawned the Mujahedin, Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
He has authored many interesting books, such as The Grand Chessboard which speaks on the urgent importance of geopolitics and it's role in securing the hegemony of a one world government. Also, he has written a few books that were rendered completely unaffordable by regular folks such as Between Two Ages (commissioned by The Club of Rome) which speaks on the Technetronic Era (which, quoting the book is defined as, "The post-industrial society is becoming a “technetronic” society: a society that is shaped culturally, psychologically, socially, and economically by the impact of technology and electronics—particularly in the area of computers and communications."
Between Two Ages speaks about satellite surveillance technology, the invention of the common internet, and weather modification. There's some pretty "futuristic" topics for the 1970s for example. It also speaks on population growth and how to control it. The book reads hauntingly similar to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World - which incidentally Brzezinski has been quoted as saying, "was only a slight exaggeration."

I leave you with some quotes from Between Two Ages to digest...
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. . . . The real enemy, then, is humanity itself. [12]"
"Julian Huxley was perhaps guilty of only slight exaggeration when he warned that “overcrowding in animals leads to distorted neurotic and downright pathological behavior. We can be sure that the same is true in principle of people. City life today is definitely leading to mass mental disease, to growing vandalism and possible eruptions of mass violence.” [14]
“I foresee a time when we shall have the means and therefore, inevitably, the temptation to manipulate the behavior and intellectual functioning of all the people through environmental and biochemical manipulation of the brain.” [16]
"Historical judgments aside, it is noteworthy that modern man is still educated in terms that promote aggressive feelings. In the West, films and television emphasize violence, and the teaching of history stresses wars, victories, defeats, and conflict between “good” and “bad” nations. These aggressive instincts are also expressed by children’s games as well as by adult forms of entertainment. In communist countries ideology similarly stimulates aggressive feelings and hostility toward “evil” forces, thus continuing the more fundamental dichotomies introduced by the religious tradition. [27]"
"The traditionally democratic American society could, because of its fascination with technical efficiency, become an extremely controlled society, and its humane and individualistic qualities would thereby be lost. (Such a society is the subject of Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Player Piano.) [28]"
"Persisting social crisis, the emergence of a charismatic personality, and the exploitation of mass media to obtain public confidence would be the steppingstones in the piecemeal transformation of the United States into a highly controlled society. [19]"
