Read the Kissinger website first. Answers should be ~1 solid paragraph in length.



1) Summarize the perspective presented by Henry Kissinger’s website on his life and work. Be detailed.
2) Summarize the perspective presented by Ackerman in Rolling Stone on Kissinger’s life and work. Be detailed.
3) Ackerman begins his obituary by discussing Timothy McVeigh, the white supremacist who killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 as a means of framing a conversation about culpability for murder. How effective was this as a rhetorical tactic? Should McVeigh’s actions and Kissinger’s be comparable? 
4) Ackerman asserts that “Kissinger’s Ascent occurred through an obscenity that time cannot diminish.” What is he talking about?
5) After reading these two accounts of Kissinger’s life, how do they differ? What is your opinion on the man and his legacy?
