Su questo libro

Recensione:

“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 skillful advocate in Christopher Hitchens.”—The Sunday Times [London]

“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

“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

“It is shaming that Harper’s and the Guardian excerpted this book. It is so contemptible that it almost makes a case for judicial book-burning.”—Conrad Black, The Spectator
