This book’s full title is Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy. This is a wonderful book and highly enjoyable to read. Kissinger talks about Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. I have a better view of Nixon because of this book.
Critical thinking is what we need rather than just believing in what you hear from our leaders and the press. I am sorry if anyone disagree with this, but I like to read all points of views and then decide for myself, what I will accept or not accept. That seems like an unpopular position are a lot of people.
Andrew Anthony on the Guardian writes an review of this book. He quotes Christopher Hitchens, an author I have never cared for. Abraham Sofaer on Moment Magazine does an interesting review of this book. Francis Sempa on New York Journal of Books likes Kissinger. Most of reviews do. See the review on Kirkus.
This is a short interview on Good Morning America. Henry Kissinger is interviewed about this book on MSNB. Henry Kissinger is interviewed by World Affairs Council of Dallas Fort Worth. The interview starts around 4 minutes in.

Liberalism and Its Discontents by Francis Fukuyama
This book’s full title is simply Liberalism and Its Discontents. It is an interesting read. I found the last chapter, called Principles for a Liberal Society, the most interesting. I have always had both male and female friends. It seems to me that people who cannot be friends with the opposite sex, cannot see others as fellow humans first.
He is saying that America conservatives must accept the shifting demographics and social change. They will find that the new immigrants are not so different from older immigrants. We are all immigrants in North America. The left only accepts certain diversity, which refers to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. They need to accept other diversities as people are more than just members of a group.
Francis Fukuyama at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy talks about his book. He speaks for 30 minutes and then there is Q & A. For the Commonwealth Club there is a conversation between Tim Miller and Francis Fukuyama on YouTube . The introduction is over around 3.52 minutes and the conversation starts around 5.29 minutes in.
There is a long, interesting review by Seamus Flaherty on Quillette .

Toronto Mayors by Mark Maloney
This book’s full title is Toronto Mayors: A History of the City’s Leaders. The shocking thing about this book is how readable it is. This I did not expect. Most book with biographies of individuals you keep as reference, because they are boring to read. This is the exception and therefore shocking.
I learned a lot from this book about Toronto, I city I have lived in most of my life. Compared to what you read on the cover of the book. I thought the author treated all the mayors rather sympathetically. Mark Maloney not only talks about the time the mayor was in office, but gives the whole life story of each mayor. I found the book a very easy read.
There is a review of this book on Donner. There is a list of Toronto Mayors and some details on Wikipedia but this is unrelated to this book. There is an article in the Toronto Star by Mark Maloney about the first women elected to the Toronto City Council. She was Constance Hamilton. There is an article in Now about why Cawthra Square Park should be renamed after Mayor Barbara Hall. There is only one review of this book at Good Reads and the reviewer did not particularly like the book.
Mark Maloney is interviewed on the War Room by Vince Nigro. An interesting name for a book review, but it was a good interview.
