On the heels of his recent treatise on the Middle East, The Great War for Civilisation, we present the animated and impassioned Robert Fisk, discussing the realities, risks and rewards of his work.

This CD includes a lecture and an interview with acclaimed radio host, David Barsamian on Lebanese politics after Rafik Hariri's assassination. Also included is a printed booklet containing excerpts from a panel discussion with Fisk, in April of 2006, discussing developments in the Middle East and the West's efforts to stop the destruction.
