04/04/2008 - Robert Fisk, the iconic Middle East correspondent for the
Independent, talks about his reporting career spanning three decades.
Fisk
has reported from the Middle East for more than 31 years -- during
which time he has covered 11 major wars as well as countless
insurgencies and massacres.
He holds more British and
international awards than any other foreign correspondent and is the
author of the critically acclaimed The Great War for Civilisation: the
Conquest of the Middle East, an eyewitness history of the region's
tragedy.
His latest book, The Age of the Warrior, is a collection
of his Saturday columns for the Independent, which allows him to "speak
out against the fraud and injustice of a world in which consent has
become automatic". It covers issues ranging from the Middle East to the
use and misuse of words, and the influence of cinema and novels on our
age.
