"The Legacy of Henry Kissinger: Controversy and Enduring Influence"

Socialist magazine Jacobin released a book titled "The Good Die Young" on the day of Henry Kissinger's death, exploring his legacy in U.S. foreign policy. The book, published in partnership with Verso Books, features contributions from scholars, journalists, and activists examining Kissinger's role in various countries. While the framing may seem personal, the collection aims to provide a broader context and intellectual analysis. Jacobin sold 3,000 copies within hours of the book's release and estimates selling at least 7,500 copies so far. Kissinger's unique position as a celebrity diplomat in a less polarized era is highlighted, with his bipartisan appeal and cultural influence being difficult to replicate today.
