Media Reviews
Hitchens ... never seeks to conceal the dramatic nature of his own ideological odyssey ... Today, famously, he is a fully fledged flail of the left, though interestingly this has not led to any great devotion to the Tory cause, least of all as represented by the emollient David Cameron.
If there is one thing that can be counted on from the reconstructed Hitchens, it is his eagerness to go tooth and nail for political timidity wherever he detects it and, in his view, compassionate Conservatism is every bit as vulnerable in this respect as was New Labour back in 1997.
He writes with much of the verve and brio of his elder brother and with a greater regard for detail and accuracy.--Sanford Lakoff
The Broken Compass, which has received less attention in the conservative press than it deserves, mixes Hitchens's analysis of modern British politics - and the lack of any small-c conservative party - with his own memoirs as an industrial and foreign correspondent.--Sanford Lakoff
