"This memoir is culled in part from the actual day-to-day field reports of civil rights workers who risked their lives in the 1960s South. The author uniquely reveals the daily and hourly terror that had to be faced to defeat Jim Crow segregation."

"Some of the most important pictures taken of Marilyn Monroe throughout her career with a memoir to go along with it. She and De Dienes were lovers and longtime friends. She would often visit him and take pictures purely for the catharsis of it."

Roz Chast | 2014 | Architecture & Design

"Roz Chast is always funny, but this graphic memoir about caring for her aging parents is also raw, brutally honest, and heartbreaking. It’s an unsparing portrait of decline, but also a loving act of witness; it tells the truth without sugar-coating or looking away."

Personally, I feel everyone should read this book. Or listen to it! It's even better in audio, as he narrates his own memoir so adds in extras that he thinks about as he's narrating.

Not strictly a Christian apologetics book, but partly a personal memoir and partly a defense of a kind of thoughtful and nuanced political conservativism influenced by Christian beliefs. Well worth the read, even if you don't find yourself in accord with all of Hitchens' political beliefs.
