From bestselling author and provocateur Christopher Hitchens, the
classic guide to the art of principled dissent and disagreement In
Letters to a Young Contrarian, bestselling author and world-class
provocateur Christopher Hitchens inspires the radicals, gadflies,
mavericks, rebels, and angry young (wo)men of tomorrow. Exploring
the entire range of "contrary positions"--from noble dissident to
gratuitous nag--Hitchens introduces the next generation to the
minds and the misfits who influenced him, invoking such mentors as
Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark,
Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant
attitudes across the ideological spectrum. No other writer has
matched Hitchens's understanding of the importance of
disagreement--to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to
true progress, to democracy itself.

These ideas and challenges, and the courage it demands, is a gift to all who take the time to indulge the reading thereof. Unashamedly brutal at times, and incredibly humorous, the importance of questioning the status quo and holding orthodoxy to account is laid bare and clear. I recommend this absolutely.
