Hitch 22: A Memoir

In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the  footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with  his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his  life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce  attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls,  boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and  lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his  life.
