Book description
Christopher Hitchens goes straight for the jugular in The Trial of
Henry Kissinger. Under his fearsome gaze, the former Secretary of
State and National Security Advisor is accused of being a war criminal
whose reckless actions and heinous disregard for international law
have led to torture, kidnapping, and murder. This book is a polemical
masterpiece by a man who, for forty years, was the Angloshpere's
preeminent man of letters. In The Trial of Henry Kissinger, Hitchens'
verve, style and firebrand wit are on show at the height of their potency.
Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a contributing editor to
Vanity Fair and a regular contributor to the New York times Book
Review and Slate. He is the author of numerous books, including works

National Book Award nominee, god Is Not Great.
