This is Robert Fisk's enormous story of his life reporting on the Middle East.
It is difficut to read at times because he does not spare his readers any of
the horror of the terrible things that he has seen. He goes back to the First
World War (the title comes from his father's First World War medal), the
Armenian massacres and the Balfour declaration and traces current conlicts
back through history.
