Kissinger's Shadow by Greg Grandin
The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman
A critical account of Henry Kissinger’s half-century influence on American foreign policy, arguing that his brand of realpolitik—backing coups, tolerating mass violence, and privileging strategic interests over human rights—left a long, often deadly imprint around the world. The narrative connects U.S. interventions from Vietnam and Cambodia to Chile, Bangladesh, and East Timor, showing how those choices normalized support for authoritarian allies, weakened international law, and reshaped U.S. policymaking and global geopolitics for generations.
