Robert Fisk, internationally recognized journalist for the Independent of
London, speaks on his new book. Described by the New York Times as
"probably the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain". Fisk has over
thirty years of experience in international reporting, dating from 1970s
Belfast and Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution, the 1975-1990 Lebanese
Civil War, and encompassing the 1979 Iranian revolution, the 1980-1988
Iran-Iraq war, 1991 Persian Gulf War, 2002 Invasion of Afghanistan and
2003 Invasion and subsequent Occupation of Iraq.

Fisk has received Amnesty International UK Press Awards in 1998 for his
reports from Algeria and again in 2000 for his articles on NATO air
campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999. He received the British Press Awards'
International Journalist of the Year seven times, and twice won its
"Reporter of the Year" award.

In addition to his reporting, he has authored several books including
"Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War",  "In Time of War: Ireland, Ulster and
the Price of Neutrality", and most recently "The Great War for
Civilisation - The Conquest of the Middle East".
