Christopher Hitchens was a titan of the mind, a polemicist unafraid to take on the most sacred of cows. This collection of his interviews lays bare his blistering wit, his intellectual curiosity, and his unflinching contrarianism. From his early days as a hero of the Left to his controversial support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hitchens showcases his mastery of rhetoric, his love of literature, and his uncompromising disdain for all things religious. Culminating in a fearless final interview with Richard Dawkins, this book is a testament to a man who lived and died on his own terms.
