Media Reviews
This is a disturbing glimpse into the dark side of American power, whose consequences in remote corners of the globe are all too often ignored. Its countless victims have found an impassioned and skilful advocate in Christopher Hitchens. - The Sunday Times An eloquent and devastating indictment of Henry Kissinger's involvement in the war in Indochina, genocide in East Timor and many other acts of indiscriminate murder. - The Village Voice This book is so studiedly defamatory that if Kissinger values his reputation, he really must sue. - Literary Review Hitchens is a brilliant polemicist and a tireless reporter. Both sets of skills are on display throughout this book as he presents damning documentary evidence against Kissinger in case after case. - San Francisco Chronicle I find it contemptible. - Henry Kissinger
