Hitchens died on December 15, 2011. His work on the war crimes of Henry Kissinger may be his most enduring. This is the fact filled and funny Q/A section recorded in the Fall of 2001 in San Francisco at a book release party for: The Trial of Henry Kissinger. Hitchens discusses whether Nixon and Kissinger stole the elections of 1968, offers additional information on Kissinger's role in Israel, Palestine, and Cyprus, and reviews some of the instruments of international law that may be used to bring war criminals to trial. Updated in December 2011.Â
"Hitchens investigates Kissinger's 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 Drawing on first-hand testimony, previously unpublished documentation, and material released under the Freedom of Information Act, Hitchens mounts a devastating indictment of a man whose (actions)resulted in both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."
