Peter Hitchens's "The Rage Against God" is a memoir exploring his journey away from religious faith. Hitchens recounts his upbringing in a religious household and his eventual rejection of organized religion. The book delves into his personal experiences and intellectual arguments that shaped his worldview. It offers a candid and often critical perspective on religious belief and its impact on society. Hitchens's writing style is known for its wit and intellectual rigor, making the book engaging for readers regardless of their religious beliefs.
In 'The War We Never Fought', Peter Hitchens argues that Britain has not waged a genuine 'war on drugs' since 1971, when the Wootton Report led to a reduction in penalties for drug possession. He contends that this has resulted in a de facto decriminalization of drugs, particularly cannabis, which he believes poses significant risks to mental health. Hitchens advocates for stricter enforcement and punishment to effectively combat drug use.
In 'The Phoney Victory', Peter Hitchens questions the conventional narrative of World War II as a 'Good War', arguing that Britain's entry into the war led to its decline and that the Allies sometimes used immoral methods. He critiques the idea that Britain went to war to save the Jewish population and highlights the unpreparedness of Britain and France for a major European conflict.
Peter Hitchens is an English conservative author, broadcaster, journalist, and commentator. He writes for The Mail on Sunday and was a foreign correspondent reporting from both Moscow and Washington DC. His books include The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, The War We Never Fought and The Phoney Victory. Previously a Trotskyist and supporter of the Labour Party, Hitchens became more conservative during the 1990s. He joined the Conservative Party in 1997 and left in 2003, and has since been deeply critical of the party, which he views as the biggest obstacle to true conservatism in the UK.
