With a Postscript by Nelofer Pazira-Fisk and a foreword by Patrick Cockburn, Night of Power delivers an essential and prophetic account of the last twenty years, which exposes the inescapable consequences of colonial oppression and violence in the Middle East.

Reviews for NIGHT OF POWER: The Betrayal of the Middle East
‘The overall effect of Fisk’s present-tense historical writing—he holds a doctorate in history and is able to make deep connections between present and past—is to underscore the dangers of making too many assumptions about a much-assumed-about region … An incisive view of the Middle East that won’t please the Pentagon or veterans of the Bush and Blair administrations’ Kirkus starred ...
