Book Review of The Trial of Henry Kissinger

The Trial of Henry Kissinger
mattc avatar reviewed on + 45 more book reviews


The secular world-traveling journalist, Christopher Hitchens takes on the legacy of Henry Kissinger in a short book. This is not a biographical sketch laying out grievances, but focuses on the narrowly defined areas where Hitchens believes Kissinger could be brought to trial for truly criminal misdeeds. I had no opinion one way or the other when I picked up the book, but the record from official government documents alone left me shocked.
