Love, Poverty and War: Journeys and Essays

Wow -- whatever one may think of Hitch's politics, the guy sure could write! Took me a while to get through this one, not because he's dry, but because the entries that interested me were so well done that I wanted the book to last longer.

What to expect: the essays are roughly divided into historical and literary criticism, travel and current events (best way I can put it), followed by ones focusing on 9/11 and Iraq (the book "ends" in 2004). The first section was the most difficult for me, not being familiar with some of the subject matter (Winston Churchill's story for instance), but I got Hitch's point easily enough. The travel narratives on Los Angeles and traveling Route 66 were outstanding, easily worth paying for individually themselves! The last section was highly insightful, although a bit depressing in hindsight; to be fair, he does manage to find evidence that a few areas of life in Iraq improved after 2003 (emphasis on that few). He goes out of way to be fair also when he's called in by the Vatican to give a not-so-flattering statement regarding Mother Theresa's nomination for sainthood.

Highly recommended!
