review 1: One word to describe this work! "Brilliant"!It's very rare to find an unbiased Western writer - specially when writing about Middle East - but here comes Mr.Fisk with very shocking facts at some topics & very honest ones at others. He has seen the ME from another perspective, he saw Arabs .. how they are thinking, dealing, interacting with events.. he see how Worldwide leaders were treating Arabs, Muslims... he comes sarcastic of their decisions leading to all the horrors the West is facing right now, But at the same time he is fair, he is confronting the world of several genocides that they prefer to keep silent about ..Mr. Fisk.. hats off for this fair piece of art!
review 2: Robert Fisk has both the knowledge of the Middle East and the eloquent gift of a wri
... moreter to express and explain his frustration with many policies made by the US and Europe towards the ME region. Living in the Middle East helps me to appreciate his point of view. However, I understand why those who live in the West and have never traveled here or studied, to any great extent, the polices of the West towards the ME find Fisk one-sided. But I think those critics are poorly informed. Fisk is fair in his criticism, condemning Arabs, Jews, and Anglos when appropriate. If he is more critical of the West it is only because there aren't many voices that oppose the foolishness that often takes place in the name of 'democracy'.A brilliant book that only occasionally veers of the path. less
