As a war correspondent Oriana Fallaci has covered the
great majority of our era's conflicts: from Vietnam to the Middle East;
from the 1965 Hungarian insurrection to the 1970s Latin American
upheavals; and from the 1968 massacre in Mexico City, where she was
seriously wounded, to the Gulf War. Her books, which include popular
novels, have been translated into twenty-one languages."

"The book’s primary theme addresses the threat Islam
presents to liberal democracies."
I
was not aware when I bought this book that it is No. 2 in a 3-part
trilogy. “The Rage and the Pride” being No. 1 while No. 3, “Oriana
Fallaci interviews Herself”, has not yet been translated into English.
That said, I do not believe it requisite to read these 3 books in any
particular order.
About the author: The written post-script of
“The Force of Reason” is the reproduction of an award acceptance speech
made by Fallaci shortly before her death. The award received was called
the “Annie Taylor” award – Annie Taylor having been the first human to
plummet over Niagara Falls in a barrel AND live to tell the tale.
Fallaci, having apparently been beaten, shot and requiring bodyguards
much of her time for saying what she thought, the criteria for receiving
the “Taylor” becomes rather self-evident.
About the book: it is
well written and easily read. In fact, one might say it’s a bit of a
‘page-turner’. The book’s primary theme addresses the threat Islam
presents to liberal democracies. As Ms. Fallaci was born in Florence,
Italy, travelled internationally to interview prominent leaders and had
also lived in NYC, her perspective is supported by a great deal of
direct experience. The book also includes Fallaci’s exposition on the
intriguing nature of her proclaimed Christian-atheism, so clearly, there
is also an auto-biographical component to “The Force of Reason”.
In
Summary: having read several books treating of the subject of
Islamization, penned by various authors of diverse backgrounds, I can
say that several fall into the category of ‘recommended reading’, but
none is more highly recommended than “The Force of Reason” by Oriana
Fallaci."

Great
book, opens one's eyes to the immensity of the problem of world
islamization. basically this is the book of facts written by a
journalist of very high caliber and integrity. if world leaders keep
kissing up to the oil kings and do nothing, we'll all end up as slaves
of this inhumane religion."
