On Chyna!

Cute

I recommend also reading a Chomsky book if you haven't already, for an alternative perspective.

On China provides interesting anecdotes about Kissinger's role in the shuttle diplomacy between the US and China, but he is so obviously putting the best light on his own legacy that he can't be objective. Ironically, the most fascinating and worthwhile part of this book are the first few chapters, before Kissinger appears. Especially noteworthy is Kissinger's treatment of the British opening up diplomatic relations with Imperial China and the chaos that ensued.

Of course a lot of books by Kissinger which deal with Kissinger are pro-Kissinger as one would suspect. Makes since that the interesting bits would involve parts that Kissinger could look at through his particular lens.

but Chumpsky is a linguist who routinely embarrasses himself by speaking about things he knows nothing about and Kissinger is a Harvard educated expert on foreign policy who has dedicated his life to the field.

to pretend their opinions are equal is like respecting the opinions of anons here about classic lit

Reminder that Kissinger is alive.

How was that book user? Im thinking of reading some of Kissingers work myself
