HITCHENS CHRISTOPHER LOVE POVERTY AND WAR

Love  Poverty and War: Journeys and Essays showcases the Hitchens' rejection of consensus and
cliché  whether he's reporting from abroad in Indonesia  Kurdistan  Iraq  North Korea  or Cuba
or when his pen is targeted mercilessly at the likes of William Clinton  Mother Theresa ("a
fanatic  a fundamentalist and a fraud")  the Dalai Lama  Noam Chomsky  Mel Gibson and Michael
Bloomberg.   Hitchens began the nineties as a "darling of the left" but has become more of an
"unaffiliated radical" whose targets include those on the "left " who he accuses of "fudging"
the issue of military intervention in the Balkans  Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet  as Hitchens shows
in his reportage  cultural and literary criticism  and opinion essays from the last decade  he
has not jumped ship and joined the right but is faithful to the internationalist  contrarian
and democratic ideals that have always informed his work.
