- Summary:
- 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.
