WHERE: UCLA AckermanGrand Ballroom
WHAT: Award-winning veteran journalist, Robert Fisk, will talk about his new
book, The Great War for Civilization: The Conquest of the Middle East.
Robert Fisk is the Middle East correspondent for The Independent of London. He
has called Beirut home for almost thirty years and speaks Arabic fluently. The
recipient of the Amnesty International UK Press Award, Fisk has won the British
International Journalist of the Year award seven times.
He is one of the only reporters covering Iraq who still goes out of his hotel
to report on the war, but even he says it's gotten so dangerous that he can
only stay on the street for 10 minutes. When former Lebanese Prime Minister
Rafiq Hariri was assassinated in Beirut earlier this year, the explosion was
only 400 feet from Fisk's Beirut home.
Fisk covered the Iranian Revolution, the Algerian and Lebanese civil wars, the
Russian invasion of Afghanistan, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the Iran-Iraq
war, the first Gulf war, and now the ongoing occupation of Iraq by U.S. and
Britain.
His books will be available for purchase and signing:
The Great War for Civilization: The Conquest of theMiddle East (2005)
Pity The Nation: The Abduction of Lebanon (3rd ed. 2001)
