Fisk has received Amnesty International UK Press Awards in 1998 for his reports from Algeria and again in 2000 for his articles on NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999. He received the British Press Awards' International Journalist of the Year seven times, and twice won its "Reporter of the Year" award. In addition to his reporting, he has authored several books including "Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War", "In Time of War: Ireland, Ulster and the Price of Neutrality", and most recently "The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East".
