What kind of a world do we live in when governments are able to pursue wars against not only the will of the people, but also the international institutions set up to promote peace? In the first World War 90% of casualties were soldiers; in recent wars 90% of casualties are civilians. But instead of bringing home the real human costs of war, the advent of "live" conflict coverage has led to television being used as just another propaganda tool. In Through the Gates of Fire, Martin Bell uses his personal experiences as a reporter of 11 wars and independent MP, to write an impassioned, heartfelt, and coruscating call to arms.
