The Force of Reason (redo)


Followup to The Rage and the Pride
One of the things that I use to choose which books I read is watching to see if the right people get mad.

That is how I discovered the English edition of Oriana Fallaci's The Rage and the Pride a few years ago. And now she follows it up with The Force of Reason.

This is an angry book. This is a book by a woman who is defying the accommodationists and proclaiming loudly that Western Civilization does have something unique to offer. This is a book that catalogues the attempts to have The Rage and the Pride suppressed.

That alone is a reason you should buy it.

Fallaci documents the arguments against her. Except they really aren't arguments, they are closer to "shut up and don't interfere!"

Regardless of your stand on the war on terror, you should ask yourself why certain people want to prevent Fallaci from being heard. I do agree that the Islamists are more interested in submission than negotiation. Until we deal with that, we can't meet them halfway. It's the only reason that I think the war on terror is necessary.
