Q: Has anyone read "On China" by Kissinger?

I've heard some good things about this book but was a little hesitant to dish out the 30+ bucks on this. Has anyone read it?

I forgot to mention that I've heard the book IS a good read! 

How could it not be when a man of Kissinger's stature and experience,  including his involvement in China,  is the author. 

Definitely worth a read in my opinion and that's why it's on my 'next to read' list.

Historically very interesting, but do I really want to read what one sociopath has to say about bunch of other sociopaths? I get bombarded with enough vacant hype and sloganistic misdirection just living here. Mayyyybe I'll read some Orrrrwell instead.

I did know Kissinger personally, being the manager of one of his brother's companies (ANTENNA SPECIALTIES) in Puerto Rico (Fajardo City) for years.  I would not say the fellow was not bright, because he indeed was, but also had an ego problem in my eyes.  Will have to read the book to espress an opinion, but will not pay $ 30 for it, wait until a friend gets it and borrow it from him.  Then I can form an opinion.
