The Betrayl of Dissent: Beyond Orwell, Hitchen's and the New American Century
Could have been much better. Really, the first two chapters on Christopher Hitchens and the unpleasant side to Orwell's politics are the best, while the rest is a frenzied and dense recounting, for those who need it, of the lies, smears and nonsense uttered by self-proclaimed lovers of Orwell in their support for war. There are more nuanced criticisms of Orwell out there, and much more savage and deserving critiques of Hitchens out there, as well. On the other hand, if you want the shortest and most damning attack on Orwell I've ever read, then go find John Dolan's article on the subject for the old exile.ru magazine.
