Robert Fisk: This was a guilty verdict on America as well


(Source: The Independent) I recently read/ waded my way through a lengthy book by Robert Fisk, The Great War for Civilisation - rather a long historical narrative about the situation in the Middle East.
I discovered a writer who was compelling in his description of the (in)humanity of war, and someone who made sense of the sometimes bleak events of the Middle East. He publishes from time to time in the Independent. If only history was taught in this compelling manner, when I was at school.
I encourage you to have a read. I am confident your views of the Middle East and US foreign policy will never be the same again.
