"The inquiry presented in this book is the product of a task initiated the day after the massacre of Sabra and Shatila. It is based on testimony by dozens of Israelis (both civilian and military), Palestinians, Lebanese, and foreign journalists. We have relied heavily on the Israeli, Lebanese, and international press; the depositions made before the Israeli judiciary commission of inquiry; the official proceedings of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament); the monitoring services of Middle East radio stations; the dispatches of international press agencies; and documents of Israeli, Palestinian and Lebanese origin. We have scrutinized the collected information, voluntarily discarding all data that could not be confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt." -- Download the entire 65-page book as a .doc file
"Account
of war in the late-20th century both as historical document and
as an eyewitness testament to human savagery. Written by one of
Britain's foremost journalists, this book combines political analysis
and war reporting: it is an epic account of the Lebanon conflict
by an author who has personally witnessed the carnage of Beirut
for over a decade. Fisk's book recounts the details of a terrible
war but it also tells a story of betrayal and illusion, of Western
blindness that had led inevitably to political and military catastrophe.
Fisk's book gives us a further insight into this troubled part of
the world."--synopsis by Amazon.com (Buy

Lebanon "This book concerns itself solely with what eye-witness correspondents and certain other key observers in Lebanon said in despatches to newspapers and news agencies, together with photographic evidence available from the opening of hostilities up until the time of the Sabra and Shatila massacres. It has the immediacy of instant reporting." --from the forward This book is out of print and hard to find. However, you may read it online by clicking here.
"First
published in 1983, Fateful Triangle is a comprehensive indictment
of what Noam Chomsky calls the "disgraceful and extremely dangerous"
policy the United States has enacted towards Israel, particularly
with regard to Israel's actions concerning the Palestinians. Supporters
of Israel must willfully overlook or deny that nation's long history
of human rights violations and military aggression, Chomsky writes,
and they will continue to do so as long as Israel is strategically
useful towards "the U.S. aim of eliminating possible threats, largely
indigenous, to American domination of the Middle East region." In
the course of elaborating his argument, Chomsky cuts through the
myths and distortions that appear in mainstream media accounts;
the damning facts that he so systematically assembles portray a
government more brutally and overtly racist, perhaps, than even
apartheid-era South Africa. Three new chapters, drawing upon material
from Z magazine and other publications, incorporate such developments
as the Palestinian uprising, Israel's war on Lebanon, and the ongoing
"peace process." --synopsis by Amazon.com (Buy
