Great to have historian @arakeys, author of Super K, on @ClearerThnTruth with @GEBogden, J.D., D.Phil., and me.
We discussed Kissinger’s legacy, his mastery of the press, and how storytelling shaped his place in history.

★ Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger manipulated the media to suppress dissent about his legacy, in this investigation by Barbara J. Keys. It’s a morbidly fascinating look at the fragile ego and control freakery that defined an entire era of political commentary. @simonschuster publishersweekly.com/9781668…

Für diesen Band durfte ich einen Beitrag von @arakeys übersetzen, der wirklich sehr klug und geistreich war – da wurde die Arbeit zum Vergnügen.
Druckfrisch: Wir werfen einen neuen historischen Blick auf Henry Kissinger! Zeitlebens eine polarisierende Figur, bleibt er über seinen Tod hinaus für die internationale Politik relevant.

We're well into this year's edition of a popular spectator sport among CASBS staff: tracking numbers of books checked out by CASBS fellows. (We're easily amused.)
Current leader: @arakeys (historian) 🥇

In our first CASBS fellows seminar of the calendar year, @arakeys discussed her book-in-progress on how Henry Kissinger cultivated his post-government service reputation. He worked hard at the myth making, including cycling through several 'authorized' biographers. Did it work?
