Robert Fisks book is different than his others, a selection of articles and writings dating from before 2000 to the present year 2008, relating to the Middle East.
Reading it one can see the story unfold, the plots, sub plots, and chapters new in the story of the conquest of the Middle East, where events affect us here in Britain, warping our minds enough for us to wish total annihilation upon our 'enemy' - hence we live in the 'Age of the Warrior', where we're all involved!
As usual it's riveting reading, Fisks writing style is beyond any other journalist I've come across before and hits you right between the eyes with its brutal portrayal of reality. A brilliant work, enlightening and honest. |
Dark Heart: The Shocking Truth About Hidden Britain
-Nick Davies
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Heart-Shocking-Hidden-Britain/dp/0099583011/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229486432&sr=1-1

An investigation into poverty, corruption, crime and related issues in Britain including drugs and prostitution amongst children. The investigation moves from the slums and ghettos of our cities, to crack houses and brothels, contacts with street gangs and drug dealers uncovering secret rites and a bizarre and cruel world. |
I will sell both for 15,000. Not sure about postage but the Fisk book will be more expensive as it's twice the size. |
