About this Ebook

This ebook was originally published as a print pamphlet in 1990 as part of the ‘Chatto Counterblasts’ series. It is reproduced here without alteration; some of the references are specific to that period, but Hitchens’ arguments and themes are as relevant today – if not more so – as when it was first published.

Part of the Brain Shots series, the pre-eminent source for high quality, short-form digital non-fiction.
