DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author and journalist Robert Frisk\, based in Bei
 rut as Middle East Correspondent of The Independent\, has lived in the Mid
 dle-East for almost three decades and holds more British and international
  journalism awards than any other foreign correspondent.  His last book\, 
 Pity the Nation\, a history of the Lebanon war\, was published to great cr
 itical acclaim.  Fisk\, who has met Osama bin Laden three times\, has been
  on the battlefront of the Middle East's conflict for 28 years and his dev
 astating accounts of human suffering are now read around the world.  Rarel
 y have first hand reporting and history been so powerfully combined than i
 n Frisk's The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East\
 , and epic story of tragedy and betrayal in the Middle East.  As his narra
 tive of bloodshead and cruelty unfolds in Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Algeria\, I
 ran\, Palestine and other battlefields\, the carnage of 9/11 and the overt
 hrow of Saddam's brutal reime take on a new and frightening meaning.\n\nNO
