<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Beginning the 1990s as a "darling of the left," Hitchens became more of an "unaffiliated radical." As he shows in his reportage, cultural and literary criticism, and opinion essays from the last decade, he is faithful to the internationalist, democratic ideals that have always informed his work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>I did not, I wish to state, become a journalist because there was no other 'profession' that would have me. I became a journalist because I did not want to rely on newspapers for information.<i> Love, Poverty and War: Journeys and Essays</i> showcases America's leading polemicist's rejection of consensus and clichÃ(c) 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher Hitchens</b> is a contributing editor to <i>Vanity Fair</i> and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School. He is the author of numerous books, including works on Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, George Orwell, Mother Teresa, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and his #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller and National Book Award nominee, <i>God Is Not Great</i>.
