    Editorial Pieces
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2015*

Fisk is brilliant and frank about a wide range of subjects he covers in this book. It is a collection (more than 100 as I recall) of his editorial pieces from work at the Independent Magazine. Each is a little gem. A thesis (in the preface) is that a reporter's supposed lack of bias is something he regards as a 'great sickness of our Western press and television'. (Of course he makes you well aware of his own but with compelling logic and facts.) I have long agreed with that sentiment but have not the resources, nor time and talent, to analyze reality behind news releases or journalistic commentary on contemporary international 'incidents'. Long since I have concluded we do not have truly objective news services needed to impel action by speaking 'truth' or at least presenting unedited facts. The pieces in this book cover a range from family and schooling experiences when young, through favorite movies, the Rumblin' Tum cafe in his home town, war, travels, and many other brief but pointed reflections on issues of our times. Another theme in the book is contemporary journalism treatment of reality changes fundamental meaning of words leading to erroneous conclusions.  (Fisk's education included Chomsky and meaning in language.)  An example is "There is something repulsive about this vocabulary (i.e. as found in the news), an aggressive language of superiority in which `key players' can `interact' with each other, can `think outside the box', `outsource' their business, or `downsiize' the number of their employees'." Words with implied and ambivalent meanings. The title is a little misleading since these reminiscenses are from a man of incredibly broad experience in the world. Not least are those observed while residing for 30 years in Beirut, Lebanon. A complementary view of Mideast reality for a reader, than simply cruising through short pieces, is to travel with him in the Near East in his book "The Great War to Save Civilization".

i could have told you long before i opened the book that it would be worth reading. Having just read "the age of the warrior",I can tell you it's value far exceeds the price put on it by its publisher. If you've read his articles from the independent or have read "the great war for civilization" you will want to read this book. ****(see below)It is immensely insightful, and intelligent. If you've only read his articles from the independent,then "the great war for civilization" would be best to start with. It is by far the most powerful book I've read. It does not gloss the truth or clean it up, but accounts some of the terrible acts the human race can inflict on one another. It was a difficult read and at times i couldn't read more than 4 or 5 pages at a time."Age of the Warrior" follows his articles in the last five or more years of his work in the Middle East covering governments,war,his insight on the "western media" and go's into several experiences of his childhood. (his love of trains, for one).Though the events in this book happened years ago,reading the articles may give you the insight to better understand how those events came about and may just help you see how you can help prevent history from repeating itself.I've heard someone say(Fisk maybe):"It's the journalist's job of keeping governments in check, by seeing that the acts perpetrated by them don't go unnoticed,and reporting their  acts to the public, so that those guilty be held accountable."I believe we (the people) are not excluded from that responsibility.**** Note: for those who have tried to find the 3-part documentary he did called "from Beirut to Bosnia", do a 'video' google search it should be the first thing that pops up.Pt. 1.

This is, surprisingly, not  unlike his magnum opus, The Great War for Civilization, the attention to minitua makes it very difficult to get an overview but my admiration of Fisk is great.  GHis interviews on YouTube have none of the minitua problem -- imo they're uniformly awesome. VSo ... if you want to understand the Middle East, search YouTube for Robert Fisk -- you will not be disappointed.  If you're already an expert on the ME then there's little reason to be reading this review.  But for neophytes like myself, I would not have purchased these two books had I realized the attention he gives to incidental, historical minitua on the ground. The far right of the Anglo world regards Fisk as a dangerous-to-Israel  Lefty and the rightwing blogosphere has launched such a widespread attack on Fisk that their exercise is known as "Fisking."  But, what I regard as Fisk's bottom line is that Israel will continue to create war against themselves as long as they keep building new settlements.  That's hardly anti-Semitism -- it's a reasonable observation that's rather difficult to deny.  The far-Right blogosphere doesn't want that notion spread widely.  Despite the minitua in this book Fisk is courageous to put this material out given the power of the Israeli lobby and Israel's military backing from the military of the English speaking world.
