♥♥♥♥♥ |
Fisks own account of the Lebanese civil war.
|
Probably the best book written by Robert Fisk who currently writes for the independent newspaper (with articles of considerably less quality than this book) This is more of a personal account of the Lebanese civil war as Fisk was a journalist who not only knew many of the journalists who were kidnapped at the time but also even had a lucky escape himself.
The book covers all sides of the dividing lines in Lebanon even pointing out some of the wider issues that effected Lebanon (such as the PLOs war with Israel and the Israeli invasion, the IRA and provisional volunteers who came to fight along side left wing factions in the civil war)
This is a very interesting read but sometimes I feel that Fisk himself ignores the fact that he is a journalist and becomes too personally involved and sometimes what he writes becomes little more than emotionally charged rants against those he does not agree with rather than objective insight.
Never mind, this is still a very good book and well worth reading. |
