The "Black Book" of American Empire

Henry A. Kissinger is a singular figure in American foreign policy - an architect of unrivaled importance in the expansion of U.S. empire from the post-war period to the present day. In an era of toxic political acrimony between the two major parties, Kissinger has transcends partisan camps, successfully winning bipartisan consensus for violent military intervention the worldover. Despite the innumerable bloodlettings Kissinger might be held responsible for, the war criminal is warmly embraced by the whole of mainstream American politics. One can already hear the hagiography that will come with his wake. Against this deadly historical amnesia, Jacobin has produced "the black book of Kissinger" - an archive of over forty years of violent, globetrotting crime from Washington D.C.
