Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and Visiting Professor in liberal studies at the New School in New York. He was the author of numerous books, including works on Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, George Orwell, Mother Theresa, Henry Kissinger and Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as the international bestseller and National Book Award nominee, God Is Not Great.
Do yourself a favor and skip the Dawkins and Harris; they're smug,
turgid, and boring, with all the human feeling of a tax return.
Read Hitchens instead... A tendentious delight, a caustic and even
brilliant book... Thank God for Christopher Hitchens.
*Esquire*
Dazzling... A campaign to put this glittering anti-theist tract on
the national curriculum for "religious education" should begin
here.
*Independent*
Hitchens is a grand rhetorician, and his double-barrelled shotgun
of a book is high entertainment... As with Voltaire, his scornful
laughter is a powerful weapon.
*Sunday Times*
The anti-religion case has never been put so well, so
comprehensively or so definitively as in this razor-sharp book...
Hitchens accumulates a devastating case... Outstanding.
*Independent on Sunday*
Christopher Hitchens is a master craftsman of argument... God is
not Great is undoubtedly the most boisterously entertaining
contribution to the [atheism] debate.
*Metro*
God is not Great is easily the most brilliant and fascinating
contemplation upon the role of religion in human society in recent
times, the Das Kapital of a tolerant, if exasperated, atheism.
*Irish Independent*
