Kissinger: A Biography by Walter Isaacson

3.0

A fair and balanced biography of the controversial diplomat. Liberals despise him, think he's a war criminal. Conservatives think he's a Communist-appeasing sellout. I'm in the middle. I think he's a self-serving bureaucrat who went wherever the wind blew him. Sometimes that was to the left (bailing on South Vietnam, recognizing China). Sometimes it was to the right (bombing Cambodia, overthrowing Allende). I think he deserves a lot of the blame for stoking Nixon's crazy paranoia for witch hunts and wiretapping.
