Publishers Description: "This is no chronology of Middle East history but a passionate outcry against the lies and deceit that have sent soldiers to their deaths and killed tens of thousands of men and women - Muslim, Christian and Jew - over the past century. It is also a chronicle of journalists at war, of the rage, humour and frustration of the correspondents who spend their lives reporting the first draft of history, of their occasional courage - and sometimes their deaths. Rarely have first-hand reporting and history been so powerfully combined than in Robert Fisks epic story of tragedy and betrayal in the Middle East. As his narrative of bloodshed and cruelty unfolds in Iraq, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iran, Israel, Palestine and other battlefields, the carnage of September 11th, 2001, and the overthrow of Saddam Husseins brutal regime take on a new and frightening meaning." -Inside front cover.
