Henry Kissinger: Hero or Villain?
Philip Rubenstein
In his lifetime, Kissinger was both reviled and revered:
- damned for prolonging the Vietnam war, bombing Cambodia, overthrowing Chile's elected President.
- praised for arranging detente with the Soviets, Nixon's trip to China, and peace between Egypt and Israel.
Who was Henry Kissinger, and how should he be remembered today?
... and what did he make of Donald Trump?
Philip Rubenstein was director of the Parliamentary War Crimes Group, which successfully campaigned to bring to justice Nazi war criminals living in the UK, and founder-director of the Holocaust Educational Trust, playing a role in the inclusion of Holocaust studies onto the UK national curriculum. These days, he works with family
businesses, advising on governance and intergenerational continuity. He also lectures on history, politics and film for Lockdown University.
