Diplomacy
by: Henry Kissinger
April, 1995
Publisher: Touchstone Books; ISBN: 0671510991

From the Publisher
Moving from a sweeping overview of history to  blow-by-blow accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Henry Kissinger describes how the art of diplomacy has created the world in which we live, and how America's approach to foreign affairs has always differed vastly from that of other nations. Brilliant, controversial, and profoundly incisive, Diplomacy  stands as the culmination of a lifetime of diplomatic service and scholarship.  It is vital reading for anyone concerned with the forces that have shaped our  world today and will impact upon it tomorrow.

Does America Need a Foreign Policy?
by: Henry Kissinger
15 March, 2001
Publisher: Simon & Schuster; ISBN: 0684855674

Former Secretary of State Henry  Kissinger asks a question in the title of his book Does America Need a  Foreign Policy?--but there's really no doubt about the answer. That's not to  say it shouldn't be asked: "The last presidential election was the third in a row in which foreign policy was not seriously discussed by the candidates,"  writes Kissinger. "In the face of perhaps the most profound and widespread upheavals the world has ever seen, [the United States] has failed to develop  concepts relevant to the emerging realities." Kissinger tours the world in this book, describing how the United States should relate to various regions and countries. This is not a gripping book, but it is sober, accessible, brief, and comprehensive--and an excellent introduction to international relations and  diplomacy.

The Trial of Henry Kissinger
by: Christopher Hitchens
May, 2001
Publisher: Verso Books; ISBN: 1859846319

Christopher Hitchens doesn't mince words when it comes to Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state and national-security advisor: Kissinger deserves vigorous prosecution "for war crimes, for crimes  against humanity, and for offenses against common or customary or international  law, including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture
... The book is best understood as a prosecutorial document--both because Hitchens limits his critique to what he believes might stand up in an international court of law following precedents set at Nuremberg  and elsewhere, and also because his treatment of Kissinger is far from evenhanded. The charges themselves are astonishing, as they link Kissinger to war casualties in Vietnam, massacres in Bangladesh and Timor, and assassinations  in Chile, Cyprus, and Washington, D.C. After reading this book, one wants very badly to hear a full response from the defendant.. ..
