{"product_id":"books-hitch-22-by-christopher-hitchens","title":"Hitch 22","description":"Over the last thirty years, Christopher Hitchens has established himself  as one of the world's most influential public intellectuals. His  originality, bravery, range, and wit made him first a leading iconoclast  of the political left and then, later in his career, a formidable  advocate of secular liberalism. When the Twin Towers were attacked in  September 2001, Hitchens was re-energised again, quickly emerging as one  of the fiercest and most influential advocates of war on Iraq.  In 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674274554129,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781843549215.jpg?v=1781530468","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-hitch-22-by-christopher-hitchens","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
