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. 'A good
liar must have a good memory: Kissinger is a stupendous liar with a remarkable memory.'
Christopher Hitchens
