Unhitched (book)
''Unhitched: The Trial of Christopher Hitchens'' is a 2013 book about Christopher Hitchens by the British writer Richard Seymour. The book focuses on Hitchens's work on religion, his engagement with British politics and his alleged embrace of American imperialism. In January 2013, Seymour said of ''Unhitched'', "It is written in the spirit of a trial ... I do attempt to get a sense of the complexity and gifts of the man, but it is very clearly a prosecution, and you can guess my conclusion."
==Overview==
Seymour assesses Hitchens' conversion from an opponent of neoconservatism to an Iraq war hawk, noting that he belongs to a "recognizable type: a left-wing defector with a soft spot for empire." For Seymour, Hitchens' conversion was the result of a perception of religion as a force for evil and an accompanying sense that the US empire could be a force for good. However, Seymour also traces the origins of Hitchens' neoconservatism to his earlier support for the US and for empires, including his support for the British government in the Falklands War and his view that the Roman conquest of Britain constituted "a huge advance". Seymour also considers Hitchens' reversal on the Bosnian War, his call for humanitarian intervention at the end of the Gulf War, his reverence for Rudyard Kipling and George Orwell, and his 2007 defence of the Tunisian government.
