Hitchins is a brilliant, articulate speaker with highly interesting insights to share regarding his trips to the "axis of evil" countries. His Commonwealth Club lecture and Q and A were excellent, sprinkled with humor and a treat for the ear with his ability to speak in complex sentences---something at which the British excel. Definitely a 5-star performance.Written on Jul 11 2009

I would have liked for the talk to have been longer, but he's always a fascinating speaker. He related his own experiences of life under the 3 totalitarian regimes.Written on Jul 10 2009
