Why people recommend it
The Great War for Civilisation by Robert Fisk is a comprehensive and harrowing journalistic account of modern Middle Eastern history and conflict. The book was discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience in November 2017 when guest Dan Carlin appeared on the program. Carlin shared a striking personal impression of the book, revealing that it was the only publication he had ever read which required him to read an entirely different book beforehand just to calm his nerves before going to sleep at night. He emphasized the intense and distressing nature of Fisk's reporting, specifically pointing to the harrowing depictions of the horrific conditions inside Saddam Hussein's prisons. The recommendation underscored the visceral impact of Fisk's frontline journalism and his dedication to documenting the brutal realities of war and authoritarianism. Carlin's account demonstrated how profound and unsettling historical literature can leave a lasting psychological impression on even the most well-versed history commentators.
