yep...two old German world-shakers.
Kissinger is a fascinating character. I'd like to know more about him, but I don't know what source would be credible (including the auto-b I believe he wrote). Well, I secretely doubt I would even understand his autobiography.
Here,s all you need to know from a Christian viewpoint...
Henry Kissinger is an advocate of the "Culture OF Death" Kissinger hides under the guise of population control that he deems "for the good of mankind"
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21
The reality is Kissinger is nothing more then a shined up version of the eugenic evolutionist Ersnt Haeckel-who provided the bridge of Darwins racial and eugenic arguments to the racial and eugenic policies of Nazi Germany that made the 20th century the bloodiest in Human History.
Kissinger is an advocate of abortion,partial birth infanticide,he was a friend of the Hemlock Society who,s founder Derek Humprey is on record saying... quote "what we are trying to do here at the Hemlock Society is overturn 2000 years of Christian tradition"" in regards to abortion, euthanasia of the elderly, very sick, mentally ill.
Although there is not one book in particular that I would recommend, I have read several about him.
Reading what several others think about him, my own personal conclusion is that he has an absolutely brilliant mind and is an incredibly ambitious man (when it comes to power and status); however, he is also very, very two-faced, an opportunist, and someone (like Slick) who THRIVES on the limelight and the attention of others (in a very Machiavellian way--personal gain at the expense of principle and morality--especially when it came to 'turf-fighting' and power grabbbing). He was hardly a man of 'principle'--not even close.
He was responsible to a great extent for our policy of 'detente' (a term which he picked up from a personal meeting with Charles DeGaulle). In some conservative quarters (Ronald Reagan, in particular)--that policy was nothing more than 'appeasement'--which allowed the USSR to continue to grow militarily while we stood still.
He was the 'antithesis' to today's 'neocon'--as his policies were much more attuned to the much more liberal Rockefeller-wing of the Republican Party (which is why Reagan very rarely called on his expertise). To put his political philosophy in today's terms--he would be classified as a RINO--a cross, or mix of, McCain and Guiliani.
Again, just my own observations.
