Book Reviews of For the Sake of Argument: Essays and Minority Reports
Book Review: HItchens -- powerful thinking, cogent writing, suspicious conclusions
Summary: 4 Stars
An outstanding book; while Hitchens is a powerful writer and superb analyst, his conclusions are often cynical and violently naive.
He still thinks that violence can solve problems. Unraveling the layers of secrecy lead him, too often to a few villains not to full analyses of villains.
No matter, reading him is educational, exciting, and pleasurable. His command of the language is delightful. At least, he is not afraid to be disagreeable; He give me hope that debate can actaully happen and that some people hide behind civility.
