KISSINGER A Biography

This biography of Henry Kissinger is enhanced by Malcolm Hillgartner’s outstanding narration. His delivery is lively, and he’s a great storyteller—no half-bored professor intoning a history lecture here. While his pretty-well-done imitations of Kissinger and President Nixon are distracting at first, they soon blend into the narration. The lengthy book presents a full portrait of Kissinger in all his egotistical, power-grubbing, brilliant complexity. It covers everything from his German childhood to his family’s flight from the Nazis, his college years, and his rise to power as a controversial secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations.
