Produktbeschreibung
The follow-up to Fisk¿s authoritative and highly acclaimed `Great War for Civilisation¿. Robert Fisk has a reputation for venturing where few other journalists dare to go. He stayed in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war and, more recently, regularly ventured into the streets of Iraq to file stories from the ground during the conflict. He is one of only a handful of Western journalists to have interviewed Osama Bin Laden. 'The Night of Power' is a fantastic blend of history and up-to-date journalism. Telling the stories of the victims of the vast, corrupt system of 'honour' crimes that plague the Middle East, which take the lives of perhaps 20,000 women a year, through to the indiscriminate suicide bombers that have become synonymous with the region¿s troubles, and the rise of Lebanon, Afghanistan and Pakistan as the new torch areas -this companion volume to 'Great War for Civilisation' is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the current situation in the Middle East.
