“Robert Fisk stands out as one of the rare reporters on Middle East affairs who tells the story of war not from the comfort of his hotel room, but from the blood-stained ground where the story is taking place. His ability to get close to civilians and combatants alike – and tell their stories—enables his readers to come away with a nuanced understanding of the politics of today’s Middle East and the history behind the turmoil that grips the region.”
