About the author

Robert Fisk has reported from virtually every trouble spot in the world for almost forty years. His earliest assignments were during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and since then he has covered every international conflict, up to and including the Iraq and Syrian wars. He has collected virtually every award in journalism, as well as honorary degrees, and is widely recognised as the finest foreign correspondent of his generation. The Independent is extremely proud that he has told the truth about despots and dictators so fearlessly for so long.

Summary

No commentator is better qualified to tell the tragic tale of the cruel disappointments of the Arab Spring than Robert Fisk. He is the unflinching critic of the Mubarak regime and acclaimed chronicler of Middle-Eastern affairs for The Independent for 25 years. This powerful anthology of his journalism describes the full cycle of Egypt’s awakening and relapse, episode by episode, as it happened – from the first stirrings of unrest to the glorious dawn of Tahrir Square, and the days of shame and atrocity that followed. Told with rare insight into both Egyptian culture and the hypocrisy of the West, this is history at its most compelling, written by one of the very greatest commentators on the Arab world.
