In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of gadflies, mavericks, and independent free thinkers. Who better to speak to the contrarian than Hitchens, who made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways. In an age of overly polite debate bending over backward to reach a bland consensus, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast. He bemoans the loss of critical thought evident in society. He understands the importance of disagreement - to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress. Epigrammatic, witty, and timeless yet timely, presented here is a concise synopsis to independent thought in the midst of the pressured herd. 141 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
