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.
