| Summary |
Henry Kissinger, more than any other political individual, shaped the United States' post-war foreign policy. With Nixon embroiled in Watergate, Kissinger was for a time the world's most powerful man. Even after leaving office he continued to act as counsellor to successive presidents as well as governments around the globe. For many though, Kissinger is implicated in war crimes allegedly committed with his knowledge in countries from Cambodia to Chile. In this program, historian Niall Ferguson interviews the world's most famed political advisor and the arch proponent of realpolitik.And while Kissinger may have hoped his involvement in this film would be both a historical testament and final exoneration of his part in the United State's destructive actions, the program captures a man uneasy with his devastating legacy.Assembled from more than 20 hours of interview footage, the profile peels away the mystique around the man who remains one of the most controversial figures in global politics.
