Summary:

"Robert Fisk picks up reporting on the Middle East where his book 'The great war for civilization' left off, starting with the aftermath of the Iraq invasion in 2005. From the Arab uprisings and the Syrian civil war to Israel's wars against Palestine and Lebanon, he condemns the West's ongoing hypocrisy and interference while exposing the horrific realities of life on the ground. Using a combination of journalism, historical analysis, and eyewitness reporting, Fisk delivers an essential account of the last twenty years, exposing the consequences of colonial oppression and violence in the Middle East." -- Provided by publisher.
