Part Six: Kissinger

Behind the Bastards

CHAPTER

Is There a Time or a Fucking Place?

The most consequence Henry Kissinger ever faces is Peter Jennings yelling at him once for dinner. In 2003, he opened up his White House archives to a British story named Niall Ferguson who claimed his biography would quote, provide a warts and all look at the man. It's kind of like one long book review where he is arguing with the reviewer of his book or his life or his policy. Even when you're actually trying to fully compare such a piece of shit, it doesn't entirely compare. If you want an actual biography of Kissinger's whole life and time and power, I recommend Walter Isaacson's 1992 book.
