Synopsis
Hitchens writes in the long and distinguished tradition of contrarianism and invective. In this work, he presents an overview of contrarian modes of discourse, and illustrates how the maverick stance--as dissident, curmudgeon, or just plain crank--may be essential to preserving standards of truth and democratic ideals.

Industry Reviews
"At his best, Hitchens exhibits precisely the combination of indignation and intellect that he recommends to others. His book is well stocked with memorable formulations."
New York Times Book Review (12/09/2001)
"Arch as the conception may be, the execution is winningly and accessibly conversational....Although Christopher Hitchens has produced a wonderful primer for any journalistic polemicist, he has also written the one work every professional politician should be made to read."
Times Literary Supplement - Michael Gove (03/15/2002)
