Forum Overview :: Reviews :: DIPLOMACY by Henry Kissinger (e-book)

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]CONTENTS: Six hundred pages of historical justification followed by two hundred pages of autobiography. This sounds like alot of value until you realise the autobiography is mostly self-serving :( SYNOPSIS: Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? Of course not. Now, what if your family doesn't like bread - what if they prefer roasted Cambodians? The answer to this question requires a very narrow understanding of European history and the inclination to draw questionable parallels between Franz Joseph and Jimmy Carter. VERDICT: Kissinger is one of the edgiest humorists writing today, if only because the implied punchline to every one of his bon mots is a skinless young girl covered in jellied gasoline.
