The Legacy of Henry Kissinger with Greg Grandin

Once Secretary of State and long-time Presidential adviser, Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday, November 29th at age 100. Host Allen Ruff welcomes American historian Greg Grandin, author of Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman, back on the show to talk about the legacy Kissinger leaves behind and grapple with the question: How do we begin to evaluate his impact?

Greg Grandin is an American historian, author, and a professor of history at Yale University. He is author of a number of books, including The End of the Myth, which won the Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction and was a finalist in the history category, and Fordlândia which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History, as well as for the National Book Award and a National Book Critics Circle Award.
