British-born author, journalist and political commentator Christopher Hitchens has died aged 62 on 15 December 2011 at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, following a diagnosis of esophageal cancer in June 2010.
After graduating from Oxford with a third-class degree in politics, philosophy and economics in 1970, Hitchens wrote for the Times Higher Educational Supplement briefly, before moving on to the New Statesman where he met the novelist Martin Amis. After moving to the United States in 1981, he started writing for U.S.-based publications like Vanity Fair, The Atlantic and Slate.
In more recent years, Hitchens sided with George W. Bush and Tony Blair in supporting the war in Iraq, and also went on to write a polemical book on religion, God Is Not Great, following a theme which started with his earlier debunking efforts towards Mother Teresa—"a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud" according to Hitchens.
In his memoirs, Hitch-22, he wrote of having sex with two (unnamed) male members of Margaret Thatcher's cabinet.
