highly recommended

Oriana Fallaci is back with her much-anticipated follow up to The Rage and the Pride, her powerful post-September 11 manifesto. The genesis for The Force of Reason was a postscript entitled Due Anni Dopo (Two Years Later), which was intended as a brief appendix to the thirtieth edition of The Rage and the Pride (2002). Once Ms. Fallaci completed the postscript, she chose to expand it into a book, a continuation of her ideas set in motion in The Rage and the Pride.In The Force of Reason Fallaci takes aim at the many attacks and death threats she received after the publication of The Rage and the Pride. Ms. Fallaci begins by identifying herself with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition seven centuries ago on account of his beliefs, and proceeds with a rigorous analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a soon-to-be colony of Islam (with Italy as its stronghold). Ms. Fallaci explores her ideas in historical, philosophical, moral, and political terms, courageously addressing taboo topics with sharp logic.

The Wonderful Oriana Fallaci

She makes me laugh and she makes me want to cry.

This book is written with such passion and intensity that it makes you want to howl with rage at the stupidity of Eurabia and at the same time clap your hands with joy that someone, this Oriana Fallaci, had the brains and the wisdom and the courage the put it all down. The brains, because her perceptions are clear minded and sharp, the wisdom because she has a huge experience in person of the modern world as a journalista - left for dead in Mexico in '68 was it? - and the courage because, as we all know and as few are prepared to articulate, criticise Islam, and you are likely to be put in the gun sights of a the nasty-be- nasties.

This book is written by a highly principled person who knows that the West is the best and it is being given away by the politicaly correct mind-dead people of the zombie left, who hold power in Europe. Read it.

The naked truth

Fantastic book. A must read for everybody interested in today's world.
THUS LADY HAD MORE "GUTS' THAN ALL THE POLITICIANS PUT TOGETHER.

Brave writer, now gone.

This is a keeper. Oriana Fallaci was smeared by conventional media a few years ago for detailing the Islamic threat to Europe and to the world.

Brave woman, excellent writer. Had she not died of cancer after the book was published, she might have been murdered.

The Islamists had a price on her head.

An Important Book

This is a gravely important subject and Oriana Fallaci, never afraid to speak the truth, has said what must be said. Will people in the West listen or will we become victims all of the degenerate "religion of peace"? Everyone who cares about freedom, democracy, and the values and culture of the Western World should read this book and also her previous one on the same subject. They are vital messages from a great prophet of Truth.

A Reasonable Polemic

I think that Oriana Fallaci and similar minded people need to be heard. Basically she is tired of the debasement of Western Civilization and the unfounded extoling of alternative cultures. Much of her rhetoric is passionate and funny. In the end we are all human and it is our thinking and culture which set us apart. Western Civilization has done much bad throughout history; however, it has also done much that is good. To naively dream that all thinking or ideas are equally valid is utter nonsense. People should be respected but not dysfunctional behaviors. This is one of the major points that Fallaci makes. In addition, it is sad to hear some of her stories about the defacing of important historical buildings in Florence and other parts of Europe. She providies a number of interesting vignettes.

What is needed, is a new Renaissance and Age of Reason. I only wish that Ms. Fallaci had lived to translate her third book in this series.
