The Trials of Henry Kissinger. Produced and written by Alex Gibney. Directed by Eugene Jarecki. Narrated by Brian Cox. England, Australia, Denmark. 2002; color and black and white; 80 minutes. Distributed by First Run/Icarus Films.

The Trials of Henry Kissinger is a feature-length historical documentary that traces Kissinger's life and career from his youth in Nazi Germany through his tenure as assistant for national security affairs and secretary of state under presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. It examines Kissinger's predilection for secrecy and power, including his involvement in Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign intrigue regarding the Vietnam War, but it emphasizes his role in planning and implementing policies, strategies, and decisions that may have included the commission of international crimes. These were the secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969 and after, the invasions of Cambodia and Laos in 1970 and 1971, the military overthrow of the Chilean government and the accompanying assassinations of General René Schneider in 1970 and of President Salvador Allende in 1973, and the United States-approved Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975 and the attendant mass killings and deadly famine. . . .
