Kissinger, the three-hour American Experience PBS documentary on Henry Kissinger (1923-2023), is just around the corner. It will air in two parts — Monday, 10.27, and Tuesday, 10.28, at 9 pm eastern. The film will be available to stream on PBS.org and on the PBS app, etc.
Kissinger was quite the influential diplomatic maestro during the Nixon and Ford administrations, but his bottom-line reputation has been disdained or at least debated for many decades, particularly by aged and traumatized residents of Cambodia and Chile and their descendants.
My own brusque opinion is that Kissinger was a brilliant, audacious, cold-blooded chess player whose initiatives and achievements were generally unaffected by humanitarian concerns.
Many of us would be interested in any solid, verified reporting about Kissinger’s dalliances with high-powered industry women back then….Shirley MacLaine, Jill St. John, Marlo Thomas, Candice Bergen, Liv Ullmann, etc.
