4.0 out of 5 stars
An insightful view into the life a brilliant journalist, September 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oriana Fallaci: The Woman and the Myth (Hardcover)
This unauthorized biography provided a rare view into the unusual life and career of one of the finest journalists of the 20th century. Oriana Fallaci has jealously guarded her own privacy, while making a career out of revealing often unflattering views of the movers and shakers of the 20th century. Oriana Fallaci's take her influence from her anti-fascist, intellectually idealistic upbringing. She worked tirelessly to break out of the limited existence most often reserved to a woman of her era. Her great political interviews and masterpieces like "A Letter to a Child Never Born" and "Inshallah" attest to her incisive, unconventional insight. I always wished to know more about her and now have had the opportunity.
Santo Arico is to be congratulated for finally shedding light on the incredible life journey of the most influential female journalist of our time.
