Used Like New(1 Copy): Softcover. First Edition. First Printing. 82 pages. As New. The most complete record of the live debate on subject. One of the most important cultural and literary events of our time. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a very small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The book was published as an afterthought in mid-2011 since the debate was broadcast live and is widely available online in several edited versions. As a result, the first printing was tiny. The First Edition is now scarce. Published to commemorate the landmark Munk Debate On Religion between Christopher Hitchens and Tony Blair, held before a live audience of several thousand people and millions of viewers on BBC on November 26, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. Presents what will be regarded by posterity as one of the greatest public debates of our time, as two formidable public personalities discuss religion in a way that is perhaps just not possible elsewhere. The book also includes transcripts of the post-debate assessments by Hitchens and Blair (in separate interviews) that both appear in book form for the first time. "Sharp, provocative, and thoroughly engrossing. A rigorous and electrifying intellectual sparring match" (Publisher's blurb). Hitchens was unyielding to the end, repeating his argument in "God Is Not Great" (2007) that the politically correct distinction between "moderate" believers and "extremist" fundamentalists, whether Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, is false because every religion, if the believer were truly to embrace its teachings rather than conveniently pick and choose, is essentially irrational, fanatical, and ultimately insane. For Blair, the latter attributes describe human nature itself, and points to how faith is aware of these and as such, precisely made a positive difference in people's lives throughout history while admitting that great evil has also been committed in religion's name. In the post-debate public vote, Hitchens, hoarse and dying of cancer yet undaunted and witty as ever, won by a landslide. That was no surprise. What was surprising was how eloquently Tony Blair made his case. For the man who will be identified with Bush and the Iraq War that ended his political career, he came across as sincere, honest, and contrite, a diminished yet sympathetic figure. An absolute "must-have" title for Christopher Hitchens and Tony Blair collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce copy thus. Two of the most important public figures of our time. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1770890084.
