Arguably: Selected Essays by Christopher Hitchens
4.0
Christopher puts the weight of the world on his shoulders. He has true empathy for the people he engage with for better and for worse. Ranging from History, Literature to current affairs he delves deep into each topic and treats his readers as intelligent as himself and conveys his messages with seriousness, charm and humor.
His writings on culture and war, for a lack of a better term, shows us that you can be an Atheist and have a deep rooted understanding of right from wrong without celestial dictatorship and sadly seems to be unable to shake of the burden of the worlds problems. From the plights of the Afghans, to the civil war torn countries of Africa, the massacred Kurds of northern Iraq, the slaves of North Korea and it's concentration camps and many more, his writing truly conveys a man who willingly looks into the abyss and scorns it as only a Brit can when it dares to looks back.
Christopher Eric Hitchens, 1949 to 2011, a friend I never met but feel as though would always have my back, sincerely your Comrade and Friend.
