Exclusive to Socialist Review, we print extracts from award-winning journalist Robert Fisk's forthcoming book The Great War for Civilisation
From the Preface
Robert Fisk explains to Simon Assaf why there can be no peace in the Middle East until Britain and the US get out.
You are currently writing a book - what is it about?
It's called The Great War of Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East. It studies the way in which history traps us, and how we are never free to make decisions because we are always caught by history.
Award winning Independent journalist Robert Fisk reported from Baghdad during the recent war in Iraq. In a rare interview he speaks to Amy Goodman about the growing resistance to US and British forces.
Robert Fisk, can you tell us about the situation you found in Iraq?
