Trotskyist agitator, outspoken enemy of tyranny, relentless religion-baiter,
disciple of George Orwell, devoted friend of Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie, Ian
McEwan and James Fenton, unrepentant chain-smoker, heavy boozer, tireless
advocate of war against Iraq . Christopher Hitchens has dedicated his
considerable talents as an orator both in person and in print to a great many
and a wide variety of causes over the years.

As a political activist and journalist for a range of magazines from the New
Statesman to Vanity Fair, he has reported from countless war zones and
countries oppressed by totalitarian regimes. Since moving from Britain to the
United States in the early Eighties, he has also provided a wealth of
commentary on the American political scene. His book-length polemics have
taken aim at targets as disparate as Henry Kissinger, Mother Teresa, Bill
Clinton and, most recently, God (or, as he insists on spelling it, 'god.). Now,
in Hitch-22, he turns at last to a subject that.s always been unmistakably
present in his work, if never quite so persistently in the spotlit foreground:
himself.
