The courage to speak truth to power

In these interviews Oriana Fallaci one of the most well- known journalists of the last half of the twentieth century confronted a whole host of powerful figures, including Henry Kissinger, Indira Gandhi, The Shah, Gaddafi, Arafat, Golda Meir, Deng Xiaoping. The book was published in 1976 and almost all of these leaders are no longer on the world - scene. Fallaci too through the years developed far different views than the ones she championed in this interview. In her latter years she concentrated on pointing out the danger to European Society and Civilization she felt an aggressive radical Islam presented.
But in these interviews too she is true to her own credo,
"I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born."
Fallaci who covered wars throughout the world, and was almost killed more than once while doing so,had great personal courage and strong moral convinction.
She passed away in Sept . 2006. T
This present volume contains many of the interviews she is most famous for.

Interesting

Fallaci's weaknesses are also her strengths. She's so passionate a journalist, you get a rush off her energy. But her passion also clouds her objectivity, so she seems often fanatical in her opinions and attitudes. If you want to experience the equivalent of reading an arm-waving passionate Italian, this is a worthy book.
