No journalist has chronicled the tragedies of the Israelis and the
Palestinians so exhaustively, so authoritatively - or so
controversially - as Robert Fisk, the Independent’s correspondent
in the region for 25 years. No US president has entered the White
House carrying so much hope of peace and progress in the region as
Barack Obama. Yet how much has the Nobel prize-winning icon of
reconciliation actually delivered, halfway through his second term
of office? And how much objectivity has the world’s media brought
to its coverage of his Middle-Eastern initiatives? This unique
anthology of six years of reporting and analysis allows you to
re-examine a crucial period of history by following it episode by
episode, through the ferociously clear-sighted eyes of one of the
great foreign reporters of our times. Based on decades of
first-hand experience of the Holy Land’s troubles and intrigues, it
is a saga of cruelty, betrayal, complacency, selfishness, missed
chances, broken promises – and inextinguishable hope. Passionate
but unprejudiced, outspoken but free from spin, this collection
should be considered essential reading for anyone hoping to
understand what has really happened in Israel (and the occupied
territories) since 2008.
