From the Arab uprisings and the Syrian civil war to Israel's conflicts with Palestine and Lebanon, Fisk denounces the West's hypocrisy and continued interference, while simultaneously revealing the horrific reality of life on the ground. Unafraid to criticize authority and unpack complex truths, Fisk weaves a captivating narrative that combines passionate journalism, historical analysis, and eyewitness testimony.With an afterword by Nilufer Bazira-Fisk and an introduction by Patrick Cockburn, Night of Power provides an essential and prophetic account of the past twenty years, one that reveals the inevitable consequences of colonial oppression and violence in the Middle East.
“This is a masterful work by a unique and gifted historian of the present, who was not afraid to criticize authority while revealing the horrific realities of life and death on the ground.” - Conor O’Clery, The Irish Times“Every sentence of Robert Fisk's writing exudes his hatred of war and the dehumanization it inevitably produces, making his latest book (unfortunately) a constant warning, more than an accurate historical account and analysis of today's events.” Amira Hass, journalist, Haaretz
“Fisk’s reporting is clear and bold, and a model of what journalists should aspire to in a profession that is increasingly important and under widespread threat.” -Anthony Arnoff, editor of “Iraq Under Siege”\ and author of “Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal.”\
