Publisher Description
Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide.
In other words, Christopher Hitchens contains multitudes. He sees all sides of an argument. And he believes the personal is political.
This is the story of his life, lived large.
Customer Reviews
Tour de Force
Christopher has the worlds most mesmerizing male voice. The book itself is a tour de force of his life. I don’t agree with his politics for much of his early life, and even some of the latter, but one cannot immerse oneself in Hitchens without coming away with a deep sense of humanity.
