Christopher Hitchens on Shakedown
I've had a lot of amazing people read Shakedown -- including two Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. One reader I admire deeply is Christopher Hitchens. Imagine my delight to learn that he recently sent the following comment about Shakedown to my publisher:
I was at a low moment, and beginning to fear that our adversarial culture was dying and the open society was losing its will to resist, when Ezra Levant showed that every citizen has the birthright of a little spark, and a grown-up duty to kindle that spark into a flame. Let the bureaucrats do their worst: the tongue and the word are chainless and nothing is sacred except this freedom above all.
CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
What a great honour -- and what a powerful encouragement to all of us to continue fighting the good fight.
