But a word of caution: this book contains no careless use of words or empty paragraphs. ![]() I titled this post “’World Order’ for Beginners’ somewhat hesitantly, but I consider this book a good companion for anyone who is studying or at least interested in international law. I can appreciate his scholarly tour de force in covering all challenges to world order, as well as his writing, despite the fact that Kissinger’s tenure in government is viewed with great suspicion if not malice. This book is a sweeping summation of Kissinger’s work. What did he think about international law as a feature of any world order? I had to re-read the book, not because it has been a while since I first read it, but because of its richness and depth. ![]() What better way to start the book reviews for this blog than to cover Henry Kissinger’s ’World Order’. ![]()
