The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East
by Robert Fisk
Fourth Estate =A325, pp1,328
In 1905, when the Middle East's most modern crisis was in its infancy,
American philosopher George Santayana wrote: 'Those who cannot remember
the past are condemned to repeat it.' That remark came to mind when
reading Robert Fisk's latest book, which is so much more than a modern
history of the Middle East.
