About the author

Christopher Hitchens

British-American journalist and polemicist whose contrarian intelligence and baroque prose made him one of the most widely read essayists of his generation. God Is Not Great is his most controversial work; Hitch-22 is his memoir. He supported the Iraq War, alienating many admirers on the left.
