For half a century, he was an omnipresent figure in war rooms and at press briefings, dutifully shepherding the American empire through successive rounds of growing pains. For multiple generations of anti-war activists, Kissinger personified the depravity of the American war machine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe world Kissinger wrought is the world we live in, where ideal investment conditions are generated from the barrel of a gun. Today, global capitalism and United States hegemony are underwritten by the most powerful military ever devised. Any political vision worth fighting for must promise an end to the cycle of never-ending wars afflicting the world in the twenty-first century. And breaking that cycle means placing the twin evils of capitalism and imperialism in our crosshairs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, \u003ci\u003eJacobin \u003c\/i\u003efollows Kissinger's fiery trajectory around the world -- not because he was evil incarnate, but because he, more than any other public figure, illustrates the links between capitalism, empire, and the feedback loop of endless war-making that still plagues us today.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45045772451991,"sku":"9781788730303","price":1258.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788730303.webp?v=1769217217","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/only-the-good-die-young-9781788730303","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
