Henry Kissinger on Trial: A Guide to the Controversy Surrounding the Diplomat

The February and March issues of Harper's Magazine contain a two-part article arguing that former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger should be tried for war crimes. The author, journalist Christopher Hitchens, bases this "Case Against Henry Kissinger" on the diplomat's role, during his years as head of the National Security Council (1969-1975) and secretary of state (1973-1977), in conflicts around the world. Britannica.com takes you to these different parts of the globe during the periods in question and introduces you to the individuals involved, providing historical and political context to Kissinger's contested diplomatic undertakings and information on the journalist who has raised questions about them.
