Excellent- More about The Good Die Young: The Verdict on Henry Kissinger
Henry Kissinger was a prominent figure in American foreign policy for half a century, representing the depravity of the US war machine. The Good Die Young evaluates his career and highlights the links between capitalism, empire, and endless conflict, urging a political vision that promises an end to these wars.

The American foreign policy establishment is a grand citadel, and Henry Kissinger is the specter haunting its dusty hallways. For half a century, he has been an omnipresent figure in war rooms and at press briefings, dutifully shepherding the American empire through successive attempts at expansion. For multiple generations of antiwar activists, Kissinger personified the depravity of the US war machine.
The Good Die Young: Assessing a Career Too Frequently Applauded assesses a career too frequently applauded in essays from respected scholars and journalists such as Gerald Horne, Carolyn Eisenberg, and Chip Gibbons, with an introduction from Bancroft Prize-winner Greg Grandin. The world Kissinger wrought is one we live in today, where ideal investment conditions are generated from the barrel of a gun. Today, global capitalism and United States hegemony are underwritten by the most powerful military ever devised. Any political vision worth fighting for must promise an end to the cycle of never-ending wars afflicting the world in the twenty-first century. Breaking that cycle means placing the twin evils of capitalism and imperialism in our crosshairs.
The book follows Kissinger's fiery trajectory across the globe, covering Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. More than any other public figure, the life and career of this man illustrate the links between capitalism, empire, and the feedback loop of endless conflict that plagues us today.
The Good Die Young is a powerful and essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex and often controversial world of foreign policy. It is a must-read for students, scholars, and policymakers alike, as it provides a critical analysis of one of the most influential figures in modern history.
