A magnificent compendium of wit and wisdom from one of the greatest thinkers we've ever had.

Hitchens wrote with a fearless, peerless vehemence that struck terror in the hearts of his enemies and ignited passionate inspiration in those whose willingness to think outweighed their fear of doing so. He will be remembered for many things, and this book serves as a refreshing bottle of some of his finer moments — to be enjoyed responsibly.

It hardly encompasses the full breadth of his contributions to the world, but it doesn't pretend to either. It is a starting point, a ledge overlooking the verdant fields of verbiage he left us. You should have a look.
