Best known for his reports in the Times of London and later the Independent, he was among the few foreign correspondents brave enough to live full-time in the volatile Lebanese capital, Beirut, during its years of civil wars and foreign interventions. Having suffered an apparent stroke at his home in Dalkey, a suburb of Dublin, he died Oct. 30 in a nearby hospital at 74. Although born in England, Mr. Fisk had also taken on Irish citizenship and wrote acclaimed books on the history of the Emerald Isle. He earned a PhD in political science from the University of Dublin and initially distinguished himself with his reporting and books about Northern Ireland and the independent Republic of Ireland. Robert Fisk was born in Maidstone, southeast of London, on July 12, 1946)
