This final work from renowned foreign correspondent Robert Fisk picks up the story in the Middle East where his internationally bestselling The Great War for Civilisation left off, starting with the aftermath of the Iraq invasion in 2005.
From the Arab uprisings and the Syrian civil war to Israel's conflicts with Palestine and Lebanon, he condemns the West's ongoing hypocrisy and interference while revealing the horrific truth of life on the ground. Unafraid to criticise authority and unpick complex trurhs, Fisk creates a compelling narrative of passionate and engaging journalism, historical analysis and eyewitness reporting.
With a postscript by Nelofer Pazira-Fisk anda foreword by Patrick Cockburn, Night of Power delivers an essential and propheric account of the last twenty years, which exposes the inescapable consequences of colonial oppression and violence in the Middle East.
ROBERT FISK was a bestselling author and the Independent's Middle East correspondent. He spent forty-four years in the region and his work spanned nearly five decades, covering conflicts in the Arab world, the former Yugoslavia and Northern Ireland.
