" I read the original version of this back in the late '90s. I thought it was poorly written and filled with unsupported arguments. At one point, early in the book, the author, in an almost casual way, accuses Bill Clinton of rape. He offers no evidence and the charge is quickly dropped, never mentioned for the remainder of this book. Whenever I hear someone celebrate Hitchens as a "public intellectual" I think of this book and wonder what they are talking about. I get the public part, but the intellectual bit is quite a stretch.
