Synopsis
In this well-researched yet highly-charged diatribe, journalist Hitchens presents a thorough case for the prosecution of Henry Kissinger for serious offenses while in office. He draws on what is available in the public record as well as on writings of colleagues such as William Shawcross, Seymour Hersh, and others.

Industry Reviews
"This is not really a book at all. It is a malicious polemic from a notorious pamphleteer....This is Hitchens' trial: no evidence than what he invents or falsifies. It is a malicious and bungled prosecution....[S]o contemptible that it almost makes a case for judicial book-burning; almost, but not quite. It should be preserved as evidence of the final bankruptcy, both evil and banal, of the old left."
Spectator - Conrad Black (05/19/2001)
"In sum, the book is not to be taken as a precise text in the technical areas it touches, but as a useful summary of the evils that can flow, and have flowed and continue to flow, from the otherwise admirable American democracy."
Times Literary Supplement - Alfred P. Rubin (07/20/2001)
"[A] philippic pure and simple, a propaganda screed devoid not only of balance but also of proper recognition of the distinction between domestic criminal law and international law."
New York Times Book Review - Jack F. Matlock Jr. (08/12/2001)
"The title of Hitchens's latest book...suggests either a fantasy of leftist wish fulfilment or a law students' moot. It is neither. It is the solemn reading of an indictment....But will anyone take Hitchens and his allegations seriously?...The book is so studiedly defamatory that if Kissinger values his reputation, he really must sue."
