THE TRIAL OF HENRY KISSINGER

by Christopher Hitchens, © Christopher Hitchens 2001

For the brave victims of Henry Kissinger, whose example will easily outlive him, and his "reputation."  And for Joseph Heller, who saw it early and saw it whole.

In Gold's conservative opinion, Kissinger would not be recalled in history as a Bismarck, Metternich or Castlereagh but as an odious schlump who made war gladly.  (Good as Gold, 1976
