Richard Seymour: Unhitched: The Trial of Christopher Hitchens (Verso, 2013).

ISBN 9781844679904 | 160 pages | PDF

Irascible and forthright, Christopher Hitchens stood out as a man determined to do just that. In his younger years, a career-minded socialist, he emerged from the smoke of 9/11 a neoconservative “Marxist,” an advocate of America’s invasion of Iraq filled with passionate intensity. Throughout his life, he played the role of universal gadfly, whose commitment to the truth transcended the party line as well as received wisdom. But how much of this was imposture? In this highly critical study, Richard Seymour casts a cold eye over the career of the “Hitch” to uncover an intellectual trajectory determined by expediency and a fetish for power.

As an orator and writer, Hitchens offered something unique and highly marketable. But for all his professed individualism, he remains a recognizable historical type—the apostate leftist. Unhitched presents a rewarding and entertaining case study, one that is also a cautionary tale for our times.

Thanks for taking the time to upload. It`s always necessary to read other people’s opinions even if they do leave a malodourous stench in the air.
I will give a good rating because the torrent is OK. I'm not agreeing with the author's views, but we have to be open minded and informed.

very interested to read this-Hitch has always been an icon for me in his typically well thought out arguments and style
