Thomas Paine's Rights of Man

Hitchens was known for his sharp insights into political figures. I wonder what drew him to Paine's story and how he approached portraying such a pivotal figure.

His advocacy for individual rights and skepticism of authority seem incredibly relevant. I’d love to hear if others felt a renewed sense of modern importance from his work.

Hitchens was known for not shying away from difficult topics. I’m curious whether he offers a balanced view or leans into certain interpretations of Paine's legacy.
