Fisk is an old-school war correspondent. I just started his very thick book on the Middle East, and it's already remarkable, an early scene describing his first meeting with bin Laden, no demonization here (the more frightening for it, for you understand the energy of his cause), novelistic detail, a leusurely pace, a big book to spend a lot of time with.
He is a remarkable, courageous British journalist.
