In the War Room

Evan Thomas reviews Running the World: The Inside Story of the National Security Council and the Architects of American Power by David J. Rothkopf.

He plays a game he calls "Two Degrees of Henry Kissinger" to illustrate that every national security adviser since Kissinger, all 13 of them, either worked for Kissinger or worked directly for someone who did.
