'Don't mince words' is the title of one of these pieces. Issues from Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan to Iran and literary musings on the leading writers of the last fifty years form the richest tapestry a reader could ask. World figures from Clinton to Mother Teresa, Kissinger to Benazir Bhutto go under his unforgiving microscope. From early articles in the New Statesman where he worked alongside writers such as Ian McEwan and Martin Amis, through to his pieces for Salon, The Atlantic and Vanity Fair, these articles display his rare genius, indomitable wit and singular command of language. This volume of essays spans a remarkable four decades of writing. Christopher Hitchens is possibly the most provocative writer of our time, fearless and forthright with no subject off limits. He raises hackles or receives resounding cheers, he's loved or hated but never ignored.
