It's rare to come across a book that manages to combine an enjoyable and informative mix of history, philosophy, religion, and biography. Burgis accomplishes this difficult task well, and also helps the reader to interpret today's political climate.'\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAna Kasparian, host and executive producer, The Young Turks\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhile his post-9\/11 turn to the right has defined Christopher Hitchens for the last two decades, we may now be in a position to rehabilitate his long pre-9\/11 career as a left-wing polemicist. Burgis reminds readers about what was best in Hitchens's writings and helps us gain a better understanding of how someone whose whole political life was animated by the values of the socialist left could have ended up holding grotesque positions on Iraq and the War on Terror. Burgis' book makes a case for the enduring importance of engaging with Hitchen's complicated legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Burgis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789047455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789047455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zero Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Ben Burgis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049922785535,"sku":"9781789047455","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32235976-1b04-49e4-bdea-120122e862fa.jpg?v=1685004181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christopher-hitchens-ben-burgis-9781789047455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
