Book Reviews of Letters to a Young Contrarian (Art of Mentoring)
Book Review: Provocative prose from our most erudite left-wing critic
Summary: 4 Stars
A great idea from Hitchens (that's Christopher, not to be confused with Peter, his right-wing [...] younger brother). Challenging the youth of today to match the rebelliousness of his '60s youth, he poses questions around international issues with the intention of arousing our young people from their seeming complacency and acceptance of the new world global order. This is ideal for parents of the baby-boomer generation who are frustrated at their off-spring's unquestioning life-style and failure to see Che Guevara tee-shirts as anything more than fashion statements. Whether they can get their kids to read it is another matter. Revolt, damn you, revolt.
