Robert Fisk - Covering wars insurgencies and massacres
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.

One of those great people that will be more fondly remembered by history and in schoolbooks than in his own time. When they try to write this clusterfuck of a time in the history books they will be relying on him to make sense of it all.
rest in peace sir

Robert fisk. Gret reporting
following the money - Afghan Papers and Pentagon Papers - look for reviews as you probably won't read the +40 volumes of either paper volumes.
Feelings? Surely this is celebrity culture not journalism....
