“Fisk has been based in the Middle East as the UK Independent’s Middle East correspondent for nearly 30 years. He is widely respected as a tireless reporter who strives to get firsthand information and who brings a sense of fairness, knowledge and history to his reporting. His work is based on a moral framework that views war as the “total failure of the human spirit” and journalists as having a duty to report from the perspective of the victims. In a critical look at foreign involvement and intervention in the Middle East, Robert Fisk will explain that the West has learned little from having supported some of the Middle East’s most brutal regimes and ruthless policies in pursuit of geo-political interests. Fisk will tell the story of journalists in war: of their attempts to report the first, impartial drafts of history, to monitor the centers of power, to challenge authority and to battle an increasingly partisan worldwide media in their determination to report the truth.”
