"I
did
not,
I
wish
to
state,
become
a
journalist
because
there
was
no
other
‘profession'
that
would
have
me.
I
became
a
journalist
because
I
did
not
want
to
rely
on
newspapers
for
information."Love,
Poverty
and
War:
Journeys
and
Essaysshowcases
America's
leading
polemicist's
rejection
of
consensus
and
cliché,
whether
he's
reporting
from
abroad
in
Indonesia,
Kurdistan,
Iraq,
North
Korea,
or
Cuba,
or
when
his
pen
is
targeted
mercilessly
at
the
likes
of
William
Clinton,
Mother
Theresa
("a
fanatic,
a
fundamentalist
and
a
fraud"),
the
Dalai
Lama,
Noam
Chomsky,
Mel
Gibson
and
Michael
Bloomberg.
Hitchens
began
the
nineties
as
a
"darling
of
the
left"
but
has
become
more
of
an
"unaffiliated
radical"
whose
targets
include
those
on
the
"left,"
who
he
accuses
of
"fudging"
the
issue
of
military
intervention
in
the
Balkans,
Afghanistan
and
Iraq.
Yet,
as
Hitchens
shows
in
his
reportage,
cultural
and
literary
criticism,
and
opinion
essays
from
the
last
decade,
he
has
not
jumped
ship
and
joined
the
right
but
is
faithful
to
the
internationalist,
contrarian
and
democratic
ideals
that
have
always
informed
his
work.
