AUTHOR: Peter Jonathan Hitchens (born 28
October 1951) is an English foreign correspondent and author. He has published
six books, including The Abolition of Britain, A Brief History of
Crime, The Broken Compass, The Rage Against God and The
War We Never Fought: The British Establishment's Surrender to Drugs.
Hitchens writes for
Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper, and describes himself as a
Burkean conservative. A former foreign correspondent based in Moscow and later
Washington, Hitchens continues to work as an occasional foreign reporter, and
appears frequently in the British broadcast media. He is the younger brother of
the late writer Christopher Hitchens.
Peter Hitchens was
once an atheist like his late brother Christopher Hitchens, but he became a
member of the Church of England and an advocate of moral virtues founded on
Christian faith and institutions such as marriage, which he argues have since
the 1960s been undermined by social liberals and cultural Marxists. Hitchens
defends the use of the Church of England's 1662 Book of Common Prayer and King
James Bible. Of the latter, he has written "it is not simply a
translation, but a poetic translation, written to be read out loud... to lodge
in the mind and to disturb the temporal with the haunting sound of the
eternal".
