Pity the Nation - Lebanon at War |
In this account of the carnage of Lebanon for over twenty years, the Independent's highly acclaimed Middle-Eastern correspondent, who has been based for thirty years in Beirut, combines war reporting, political analysis and historical assessment in a completely personal way. It is also an exposé of other countries' continual invasions resulting in political and military catastrophe, and the terrible price paid by its innocent population. Vital for an understanding of today's burning issues.

The Age of the Warrior - Selected Writings |
This latest book by The Independent's Middle East Correspondent contains 108 of his last five years' articles, giving us the unique opportunity to relive the immediacy of his evocative prose while reassessing, with hindsight, political and human events in the region. Heartrending, instructive, enlivened by Fisk's rare brand of wry humour and his objective but positive, if saddened, outlook on the world. Very personal, at times humbling, always at the cutting edge of life's experience.
