Description
The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East by Robert Fisk Robert Fisk's masterful narrative spans the most volatile regions of the Middle East, chronicling with both rage and compassion the tragic events that have shaped the region. This is a story of betrayal, world-shaking events, and the death of tens of thousands of people from all backgrounds. Fisk's remarkable history is also the tale of a journalist at war, learning of the 9/11 attacks while aboard a passenger jet, reporting from a bombed-out Baghdad, and interviewing key figures. A life spent writing the first draft of history is one of courage and frustration, and Fisk's account is a powerful and thought-provoking one.
