pp.xxvi 1366.”‘The Great War for Civilisation’ is a reporter’s eyewitness account of the Middle East’s history. The most dangerous men of the past quarter century in the region – Osama bin Laden, Ayatollah Khomeini, Saddam Hussein, Ariel Sharon – come alive in these pages. Fisk has met most of them, and even spent the night out at a guerrilla camp with bin Laden himself. In a narrative of blood and mass killing, Fisk tells the story of the growing hatred of the West by millions of Muslims. He outlines the West’s cynical support for the Middle East’s most ruthless dictators, and America’s ever more powerful military presence in the world’s most dangerous lands and its uncritical, unconditional support for Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land.”heavy book additional postage will apply
