Grandin examines Kissinger's own writings alongside a trove of newly-declassified documents.

'One of the most innovative attacks on Kissingers record and legacy . . . Grandin writes with engaging passion and an admirable desire to view Kissinger within the broad sweep of history.' 'The New York Times Book Review
