The Great War For Civilization

by Robert Fisk (audio link)
"Speaking on his new book, The Great War For Civilization; The Conquest of the Middle East at King Middle School, Berkeley. Nov 19 2005.
Fisk, in yet another stirring account, paints a disturbing picture of recent history and events in Iraq and the Middle East."

Robert Fisk is the chief Middle East correspondent for the London Independent. He is author of several books. His latest is "The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East."

In this recent speech, Fisk talks about how an Alfred Hitchcock movie, chance, and dedication to his craft led him on a searing path of discovery in which he abandoned illusions of "writing the first pages of history" to become a partisan of humanity against all the powerful forces that senselessly, and ignorantly victimize it by war and terror.
