Hitch 22 - Christopher Hitchens

Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle AwardIn this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the
footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with
his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his
life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce
attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls,
boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and
lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his
life.Hitch-22 is, by turns, moving and funny, charming and
infuriating, enraging and inspiring. It is an indispensable companion to
the life and thought of our pre-eminent political writer.
