Hitch-22, a memoir

Hitch-22, a memoir begins with an erroneous death notice that gives Christopher Hitchens a tongue-in-cheek way to begin the examination of his life.

After he describes the premature death notice and muses on his own extinction, Hitchens reveals that he is/was a non-bomb throwing radical, a non-artiste of the homosexual stripe and a non-complicated man with a complicated set of life circumstances (a mother who committed suicide and a taciturn father who was a part of the Royal Navy).

Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills

Vietnam gave us the term “body count,” but the number that was reported was only an aggregate and didn’t provide any ratio of how many soldiers it took to achieve one of the kills in the “count.”

Charles Henderson in his book, “Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills” shows exactly, and in gruesome detail exactly what is meant by the phrase “one bullet, one kill.”
