Henry Kissinger was a colossus who bestrode a century: He shaped politics like no other statesman and the world wouldn't be in such a perilous state if more followed his wise and ruthlessly pragmatic approach, says his acclaimed biographer NIALL FERGUSON

Funny. At the time, I thought it was because he had an accent, and I thought it was strange to have someone in that position who didn’t “sound like me”.

In retrospect, I think it wasn’t that, it was that at some level, I didn’t feel he represented our interests, even if he did.

Okay, thanks.

No surprise you’d support the godfather of globalism...

Did I say that? No, no I didn't. No surprise that you'd put words in my mouth, though. Facts don't matter in pursuit of the Communist utopia.

Correct.

And he did not care about our interests.

I see no point in badmouthing the dead. There was little that Kissinger thought, said or did that I agreed with.

I have books about him in my library.
