#ilikebigbooks #booktober I think this qualifies at over a 1000 pages, this book took me the longest to finish. Fisk was one of the great Middle East correspondents and this book is part history of the region since WW2 and part memoir of his time in the region. This book can be a tough read, violence, torture, betrayal this book details it in graphic fashion and the fact that it is real just makes it more difficult.
