Condition Continued: There is a little crinkling at the top edge of the spine, also just below the front and rear top corners. The flaps are in very good condition as well, very clean, no tears, a little corner crinkling. The jacket is not priced or clipped. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. 

Verso, London and New York, 1993. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by Christopher Hitchens. First Edition ( 'First published by Verso 1993' ). 

From the dust jacket a quote from the author: 'For the sake of argument one must never let a euphemism or a false consolation pass uncontested. The truth seldom lies, but when it does it lies somewhere in between.'

Also from the dust jacket: Hitchen's pointed reassessments of Graham Greene,  P. G. Wodehouse and C. L. R. James, or his riotous celebration of drinking and smoking, displaying an engaging enthusiasm and an acerbic wit. Equally entertaining in his unsparing rogues' gallery, which gives us unforgettable portraits of the lugubrious 'Dr' Kissinger, the comprehensively reactionary 'Mother' Teresa, the preposterous Paul Johnson and the predictable P. J. O'Rourke.'
