Written by Shortcut Edition

Narrated by Digital Voice Mike G

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

As you read this summary, you will discover how Henry Kissinger, Nixon's Secretary of State and a respected adviser around the world, was the instigator of numerous massacres, kidnappings, torture and other misdeeds of all kinds. Christopher Hitchens, an English author and journalist, reveals the evidence to support how the eminent gray eminence of American presidents pulled the strings of unscrupulous diplomacy from 1968 to 1977.

You will also discover that :

• Henry Kissinger led diplomatic actions in support of several dictatorships responsible for large-scale genocides;
• The United States prioritized its national interest and Realpolitik in the resolution of conflicts in Indochina, Bangladesh, Cyprus and East Timor;
• Henry Kissinger remains an indisputable specialist in so-called "two-track" secret diplomacy, which he uses both to serve his country and his own interests;
• If applied, international criminal law would bring about the downfall not only of the former Secretary of State, but also of entire sections of the American executive branch in the 1970s.

It is a real charge against Kissinger, backed up by excerpts from memoranda and telegrams, that Christopher Hitchens is making. So much so that with all the written evidence available and all that is yet to come, it is incomprehensible that a Secretary of State of the world's greatest power could have carried out such actions with impunity. Six cases have been sifted through, those in which Kissinger holds significant responsibility and which have led many innocent people to their deaths in the name of reason of state.
