In The Trial of Henry Kissinger, Christopher Hitchens shifts focus from Pinochet, Milosevic, Hussein, and Kim Jong-il to a man seemingly lauded and revered by the American people for what are undeniably war crimes: Henry Kissinger. Forget the regular cadre of war criminals that pollute our news headlines day in and day out; we need look no further than America's own celebrated leaders for a war criminal whose offenses rival those of the most heinous dictators in recent history: Henry Kissinger. Employing evidence based on firsthand testimony, unpublished documents, and new material uncovered by the Freedom of Information Act, and using only what would hold up in international courts of law, The Trial of Henry Kissinger outlines worldwide atrocities authorized by the former secretary of state—among them "conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture." With the precision and tenacity reminiscent of a prosecutor presenting his case, Hitchens offers readers an unrepentant, honest portrait of Kissinger, and implores governments around the world, including our own, to swiftly bring him to justice.

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.*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.*Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Leaders in China and Islam fought for power. Other regions experienced chaos and frustration as they tried to establish order. Europe uniquely allowed different regions within the whole to rule themselves. Leaders felt this would allow their people to celebrate and balance their own interests. The fall of the Roman Empire shattered the rules that Roman citizens had always lived by. Romans began to focus on Christianity, which was governed by the government and the church. Charlemagne, Roman emperor in 800, vowed to defend the church at all cost. The Empire disintegrated under his rule due to several civil wars. The emperor of Rome was elected by princes in unfair elections, and there was a constant struggle for power between the Pope and the emperor, making the concept of order seem completely out of reach. Prince Charles of Habsburg became Holy Roman emperor after Charlemagne. Charles focused on protecting and exalting the Roman Catholic Church. He was unable to do so when Protestantism swept across the region. By the fifteenth century, European explorers began traveling in search of wealth and fame. Soon, an increased focus on the individual and reason rather than the Church spread through Europe. As the Thirty Years’ War raged on between catholics and protestants, France appointed Cardinal de Richelieu as the chief minister of France. Richelieu wanted to use the balance of power to help structure foreign policy. He believed that the divisions within Europe were important and focused on centralizing France’s government to maintain a balance of power...

"Spufford cunningly maps out a literary genre of his own . . . Freewheeling and fabulous." —The Times (London) Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called "the planned economy," which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. Red Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending. Red Plenty is history, it's fiction, it's as ambitious as Sputnik, as uncompromising as an Aeroflot flight attendant, and as different from what you were expecting as a glass of Soviet champagne.
