Pros & Cons
Pros
Walter isaacson is a master biographer. He uses an elegant style with the art of michelangelo to paint a beautiful description of dr. Isaacson’s massive 893-page book.
Biography shows attention evenly to kissenger the person and kissengers the politician. Shows what kissinger represents to diplomacy and kissinger's role in diplomacy. Well done and well researched.

It feels like kissinger truly was the smartest person in the room. Kissinger's staggering intellect and powerful charm/ability to manipulate.
Cons

He is free to tell the bad with the good.

Packaging/appearance
In this regard, nixon and kissinger were of the same mind.
Competitiveness
And fair-minded and objective about the role of jews in the modern world.
