Left Hooks, Right Crosses: Highlights from a Decade of Political Brawling

By Christopher Hitchens

Book Overview

Christopher Hitchens, provocateur and contrarian on the Left, makes the news as often as he reports it, and writes about the most controversial news and current events. Christopher Caldwell is a fresh and objective columnist in the opposite camp. Together, they present the best writing from opposite corners of the political ring at the end of the last century. These incisive observers examine each other's choices and discuss in separate introductions just what they think of the picks.

Hitchens is God

I bought this thinking that it was a book penned by the authors. I have enjoyed all of Hitchens books however this is a collection of essays. In spite of this, the book is great. Just go get it, you know that you want to.
