From Wikipedia: "Henry Alfred Kissinger born Heinz Alfred Kissinger; May 27 1923 is an American diplomat and political scientist. A recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize he served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. After his term his opinion was still sought by some subsequent U.S. presidents and other world leaders. A proponent of Realpolitik Kissinger played a prominent role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union orchestrated the opening of relations with the People's Republic of China and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. Kissinger is still considered an influential public figure. He is the founder and chairman of Kissinger Associates an international consulting firm. To others Kissinger's actions while in office 'yielded much that was little short of evil'. He has been accused of 'war crimes crimes against humanity and offences against common or customary or international law'.At the height of Kissinger's prominence many commented on his wit. In one instance at the Washington Press Club annual congressional dinner "Kissinger mocked his reputation as a secret swinger." He was quoted as saying "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." Kissinger has shied away from mainstream media and cable talk shows. He granted a rare interview to the producers of a documentary examining the underpinnings of the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt entitled Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace. In the film a candid Kissinger reveals how close he felt the world was to nuclear war during the 1973 Yom Kippur War launched by Egypt and Syria against Israel. A feature length documentary titled Kissinger by Scottish historian Niall Ferguson and produced by Chimerica Media was released in 2011 on the National Geographic Channel. Since he left office some efforts have been made to hold Kissinger responsible for perceived injustices of American foreign policy during his tenure in government. These charges have at times inconvenienced his travels. Christopher Hitchens the late British-American journalist and author was highly critical of Kissinger authoring The Trial of Henry Kissinger in which Hitchens called for the prosecution of Kissinger "for war crimes for crimes against humanity and for offenses against common or customary or international law including conspiracy to commit murder kidnap and torture"."
