Inspired by his outrage at Edmund Burke's attack on the French Revolution, Paine's text is a passionate defense of man's inalienable rights, and the key to his reputation. Ever since the day of publication in 1791, \u003ci\u003eDeclaration of the Rights of Man\u003c\/i\u003e has been celebrated, criticized, maligned, suppressed, and co-opted, but in \u003ci\u003eThomas Paine's Rights of Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Hitchens marvels at its forethought and revels in its contentiousness. Famous as a polemicist and provocative commentator, Hitchens is a political descendent of the great pamphleteer. In this engaging work he demonstrates how Thomas Paine's book forms the philosophical cornerstone of the United States of America, and how \"in a time when both rights and reason are under attack, the life and writing of Thomas Paine will always be part of the arsenal on which we shall need to depend.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hitchens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802143830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802143839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Christopher Hitchens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046517633279,"sku":"9780802143839","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9dc9a5c-d5d2-4902-99b7-be38ad18a139.jpg?v=1684985003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thomas-paines-rights-of-man-christopher-hitchens-9780802143839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
