Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle AwardIn this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces thefootsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, withhis adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to hislife in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierceattacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls,boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles andlost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised hislife.Hitch-22 is, by turns, moving and funny, charming andinfuriating, enraging and inspiring. It is an indispensable companion tothe life and thought of our pre-eminent political writer.
