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
