THE INEVITABLITY OF TRAGEDY Henry Kissinger and His World

You don't have to be a fan to enjoy hearing this absorbing audiobook about the life and times of Richard Nixon's controversial secretary of state. With Kissinger's life touching so many of the calamities the world has endured over the past 100 years, it's good to have a narrator who sounds at home with the historical and philosophical undercurrents that shaped events during this period. Moderating his appealing baritone and melodic phrasing skillfully from start to finish, Paul Woodson sounds joined at the hip with the tone and substance of Gewen's powerful writing. With themes of good and evil pulsing through every chapter, the audio is full of captivating details about Kissinger and the people who crossed paths with him.
