The Great War for Civilization

The author brings his knowledge, his firsthand experience and his intimate understanding of the Middel East to a book that addresses the full complexity of its political history and its current state of affairs. This is a book of lucid, incisive analysis. It is also 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 in increasingly partisan worldwide media in their determination to report the truth.
