    I never made up my mind on Henry, other than … I could see how one could love him and a bunch could hate him. He is a hell of a guy, won’t find another one like him. Thank you for doing this . Rest in Peace Mr. Kissinger .❤

    The _me too_ phenomenon was a practice in hegemony worse than any I've ever seen! Because it cross'd party lines it engulfed the whole nation, then world, into the most undemocratic act of presuming guilt, sight unseen. Like Salem Mass

    Mr. Ferguson says critics have to look at Henry Kissinger doing nothing to prevent mass killings of Bengalis in Bangladesh by the US ally Pakistani army and Cambodians in the Vietnam war in the context of the ongoing cold war. Question is would Kissinger have done nothing if Europeans or Jewish people were being killed cold war or not. The answer is blowing in the wind.

    Regarding Kissinger and his ‘facility’ with the media (ahem)…as many of us here are likely aware, HK outright refused to meet with Hitchens, even threatening legal action against CH and his publishers (Harper’s Magazine, Verso Books). CH never relented, HK’s legal volleys were handily shot down by CH’s legal team, and CH went on to extend his open invitation to HK to meet with him at any time. HK obfuscated, evaded, refused. According to CH, friends of CH in producer and editor positions at various media outlets told him that they were ‘ordered’ by HK to never discuss, nor ask HK about, the work of CH. Make of that what you will.

    In my first year History course at the U of Windsor Ontario in 1969, we had to read Kissinger's A World Restored - which introduced me to university level historical study - a goal for myself which never departed.

    @@ttacking_you ? I was a first year student and yes I did read it - it was my introduction to a first rate historical study. Not light reading for a mass audience, but a careful, evidence based analysis of the European scene after the defeat of Napoleon - called A world Restored, it was the book version of his PhD dissertation. I read it in 1969 when I was 18, but it taught me how a history should properly be researched and written.

    Maybe Henry Kissinger had this unsuspected extreme sensitivity which allowed him to see and know who was in front of him and to use it accordingly ….strong tough people may hide an extreme sensitivity….too…when all senses are extreme…but the prominent one’s are not always the ones showing first in appearance…🇫🇷🇺🇸
