Hitchens died on December 15, 2011. His work on the war crimes of Henry Kissinger may be his most enduring. In this recording he describes Kissinger as a "a one man rolling global crime wave." Acerbic, witty, fact and passion filled. Recorded in the Fall of 2001 in San Francisco at a book release party for: The Trial of Henry Kissinger. Updated in December 2011.
"Hitchens investigates Kissingerâs involvement in the war in Indochina, planned assassinations in Santiago, Nicosia and Washington, D.C., and genocide in East Timor. Drawing on first-hand testimony, previously unpublished documentation, and material released under the Freedom of Information Act, Hitchens mounts a devastating indictment of a man whose (actions)resulted in both individual murders and widespread, indiscriminate slaughter."
