Going to buy this book. Is it good? What am I in for?

I never read any Kissinger either, so I'll bump for interest.

It's a very good book and a very comprehensive analysis of contemporary international politics. Kissinger is a very controversial figure, some scholars really dislike him - one professor once told me he is a "war criminal" but that Diplomacy is a good work and I couldn't agree more after reading it. But read about "world order" from other sources. A good IR textbook like The Globalization of World Politics or The Oxford Handbook of International Relations would be really enriching.

Isn't he regarded as a massive asshole but still a geopolitical mastermind?

Diplomacy is his best work and should be required reading.
