Fisk: The erosion of free speech
Another article from Robert Fisk which is well worth a read. In this one he interestingly mentions a recent withdrawal of one of his papers from the Irish Military History Society under pressure from a lawyer of the Irish Academic Press.
But what do you do when a publisher - or an "artistic director" - caves in? I found out for myself not long ago when the Military History Society of Ireland asked permission to reprint a paper I had published some years ago on a battle between the Irish Army's UN battalion in southern Lebanon and Israel's proxy - and brutal - Lebanese militia, the so-called "South Lebanon Army", whose psychotic commander was a cashiered Lebanese army major called Saad Haddad.
