The Age Of The Warrior: Selected Essays by Robert Fisk

4.0

Robert Fisk has both the knowledge of the Middle East and the eloquent gift of a writer to express and explain his frustration with many policies made by the US and Europe towards the ME region. Living in the Middle East helps me to appreciate his point of view. However, I understand why those who live in the West and have never traveled here or studied, to any great extent, the polices of the West towards the ME find Fisk one-sided. But I think those critics are poorly informed. Fisk is fair in his criticism, condemning Arabs, Jews, and Anglos when appropriate. If he is more critical of the West it is only because there aren't many voices that oppose the foolishness that often takes place in the name of 'democracy'.

A brilliant book that only occasionally veers of the path.
