Books by Robert Fisk
Pity the Nation
by Robert Fisk
British journalist Robert Fisk covered the Lebanese civil war for The Times of London. He was one of the very few foreign correspondents to remain in Beirut throughout the war. Pity the Nation is his story of the conflict. It was published in 1990 and is a gripping account of the horrors of that conflict, including the notorious Sabra and Chatila massacres of Palestinian refugees in 1982. Eugene Rogan of Oxford University’s Middle East Centre told us: “I think it probably stands as the best example of a book of political journalism, of conflict in the Middle East, that I can think of. He just writes like an angel.”
