Overview
This four-book collection brings together some of Christopher Hitchens' most celebrated and provocative writing in one brand-new paperback set. From his candid memoir Hitch-22 to his fearless political polemic The Trial of Henry Kissinger, his moving final reflections in Mortality, and his landmark critique of organised faith in God Is Not Great, this set is an essential introduction to one of the twentieth century's sharpest essayists, journalists and public intellectuals.
About the Books
Hitch-22 is Hitchens' candid memoir, tracing his journey from a childhood in Portsmouth through to his life as a fearless commentator in Washington DC, recalling the friendships, feuds and convictions that shaped him. The Trial of Henry Kissinger sees Hitchens turn his forensic eye on the former US Secretary of State, building a scathing case against Kissinger's foreign policy legacy in a work widely regarded as one of the most incisive polemics of its era. Mortality is Hitchens' final, deeply personal collection, written as he confronted terminal cancer; it is an unflinching, often darkly funny meditation on illness, mortality and the etiquette of dying, delivered with his trademark clarity and courage. God Is Not Great is Hitchens' famous argument against organised religion, examining major religious texts and traditions to make the case that faith is man-made, often repressive, and incompatible with a scientific understanding of the world. Together, these four books showcase the full range of Hitchens' voice: memoirist, war reporter, polemicist and essayist, all delivered with the wit, erudition and controversy he was known for. It's an excellent set for existing fans and newcomers alike.
