The _me too_ phenomenon was a practice in hegemony worse than any I've ever seen! Because it cross'd party lines it engulfed the whole nation, then world, into the most undemocratic act of presuming guilt, sight unseen. Like Salem Mass
Mr. Ferguson says critics have to look at Henry Kissinger doing nothing to prevent mass killings of Bengalis in Bangladesh by the US ally Pakistani army and Cambodians in the Vietnam war in the context of the ongoing cold war. Question is would Kissinger have done nothing if Europeans or Jewish people were being killed cold war or not. The answer is blowing in the wind.
I never made up my mind on Henry, other than … I could see how one could love him and a bunch could hate him. He is a hell of a guy, won’t find another one like him. Thank you for doing this . Rest in Peace Mr. Kissinger .❤
Regarding Kissinger and his ‘facility’ with the media (ahem)…as many of us here are likely aware, HK outright refused to meet with Hitchens, even threatening legal action against CH and his publishers (Harper’s Magazine, Verso Books). CH never relented, HK’s legal volleys were handily shot down by CH’s legal team, and CH went on to extend his open invitation to HK to meet with him at any time. HK obfuscated, evaded, refused. According to CH, friends of CH in producer and editor positions at various media outlets told him that they were ‘ordered’ by HK to never discuss, nor ask HK about, the work of CH. Make of that what you will.
Charlie please interview Larry Silverstein one more time before it’s too late. You can redeem yourself by asking him what you didn’t before ; why did he cause the deaths of thousands of innocent human beings ?
In my first year History course at the U of Windsor Ontario in 1969, we had to read Kissinger's A World Restored - which introduced me to university level historical study - a goal for myself which never departed.
@@ttacking_you ? I was a first year student and yes I did read it - it was my introduction to a first rate historical study. Not light reading for a mass audience, but a careful, evidence based analysis of the European scene after the defeat of Napoleon - called A world Restored, it was the book version of his PhD dissertation. I read it in 1969 when I was 18, but it taught me how a history should properly be researched and written.
@@notlimey aw I was just joshing you! I read it. At 17, of course . It had good points, albeit somewhat overstated..I felt like it could've benefitt'd from some careful editing at least a slight abridgement. Good stuff though. A lil dry. Pedantic. Good though damn good lil summer read on the beach
Maybe Henry Kissinger had this unsuspected extreme sensitivity which allowed him to see and know who was in front of him and to use it accordingly ….strong tough people may hide an extreme sensitivity….too…when all senses are extreme…but the prominent one’s are not always the ones showing first in appearance…🇫🇷🇺🇸
Please, give us more Charlie! Please give us more, Charlie!
Charlie Rose is the best interviewer I've every seen....
Seriously?
Mister rose truly a treat to watch your show again I missed you so much pbs is not the same without you
60 minutes too

Of the only interviewer that l would stay up for. Charlie Rose, charming!
Must state an intellectualism to Rose, stay for Ted and prior the English! Late w one eye open to watch!
@@evelynramos445😤 hmmph well, you told YOU
You was like _take THAT!?_
┐( ˘_˘)┌smh
Then YOU were like _Oh hail to the no, unh uh!_
Fascinating. The questions, whose timing and content are always spot on, greatly help the conversation.
It's so great to have you back, Charlie!
Dude's gotten way better at it too. Less interjections.

Kissinger was opportunistic. This is a good thing.
Volume II is going to be a great book.
Now it's a fair fight ready set go
Interesting, obviously different viewpoint than Walter Isaacson😂
HK , the epitome of brutal diplomacy. Ask the Vietnamese
It's CALLED _realpolitik!_
And yes, it's machiavellian in nature.
Ferguson makes Kissinger easier to keep up with.

Charlie Rose is still alive? I thought the Feminists cooked & ate him a few years ago. Legend
Terrific, thank you Charlie and Niall. 🌹

Excellent...
A truly wonderful conversation. Very much looking forward to Volume Two.
The 2 things Henry personified was being a top of the line nerd, and being evil, all the time.

This is absolutely fantastic.
Just fantastic 👏

Talk about burying the damn lead?
Oh pfft 😂 you are going to hold him accountable for building "passenger jet collision intolerant" high rises!!?
Shame on you, man. Shame on you. Tsk tsk & tsk (one for the road)
The more I learn about Kissinger, the more irritated I get at the left-wing idealists who complain about people making difficult decisions.
I watched your show for years and glad to be able to catch you here now on UA-cam, still the best Charlie!
What came of the accusations against you Charlie?

Yeah he was such a true g
Never finished it, eh? Me neither...hell never even started it. I figure, Kiss' has enough broadcast'd content?

@@notlimey and I too prefer an academic historical account to a popular historical account, which is basically just Townbyesque structuralism
Well done.
I want to watch the show charlie interviews people in table.

Great discussion!
I find Niall Ferguson a ponderous, self-important bore, with nothing very illuminating to say. Sorry .
So don't watch him then.
I agree. He should take a public position in apartheid Israel. He is repulsive and would do well in that context.
He's the court storytelling stenographer for the cabal
you should watch your enemies@@1526andrews
The very smart tend to have that effect on people.
