"Killed resurrects articles that publications like Harper's, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker assigned to renowned writers, then discarded - not for reasons of quality but because of their potential for unwanted controversy. Skittish editors feared that publishing these provocative pieces about politics, sex, corruption, and culture might upset their pals, enrage readers, or offend advertisers." "Killed also anthologizes under-published stories that were initially rejected by editors, including a censored book review by George Orwell (with a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens) that London's Observer deemed unpatriotic during wartime."--BOOK JACKET.

I enjoyed the book because I learned a lot from it. That is one of my requirements for a book worth reading. It opened my eyes to stories and viewpoints that were kept out of the mainstream press while the events were happening. I look at this book as an old chest in the attic. The things inside are sometimes puzzling, sometimes smelly, and sometimes enchanting. I would say that, unless you are squeamish, this would be a good book for anyone to read. ( )
