With The Rage and the Pride Oriana Fallaci breaks a ten year silence. The silence she kept until September 11's apocalypse in her Manhattan house. She breaks it with a deafening noise. In Europe this book has caused and causes a turmoil never registered in decades. Polemics, discussion, debates, hearty consents and praises, wild attacks. And a million copies sold in Italy where it still is at the bestsellers' top. Hundreds of thousands in France, in Germany, in Spain: the other countries where it has become the Number one Bestseller. Around a dozen translations will soon appear.

With her well-known courage Oriana Fallaci faces the themes unchained by the Islamic terrorism: the contrast and, in her opinion, incompatibility between the Islamic world and the Western world; the global reality of the Jihad and the lack of response, the lenience of the West. With her brutal sincerity she hurls pitiless accusations, vehement invectives, and denounces the uncomfortable truths that all of us know but never dare to express. With her rigorous logic, lucidity of mind, she defends our culture and blames what she calls our blindness, our deafness, our masochism, the conformism and the arrogance of the Politically Correct. With the poetry of a prophet like a modern Cassandra she says it in the form of a letter addressed to all of us.

The text is enriched by a dramatic preface in which Oriana Fallaci reveals how The Rage and the Pride was born, grew up, and detachedly calls it "my small book." In addition, a preface in which she tells significant episodes of her extraordinary life and explains her unreachable isolation, her demanding and inflexible choices. Because of this too, what she calls "my small book" is in reality a great book. A precious book, a book that shakes our conscience. It is also the portrait of a soul. Her soul. No doubt it will remain as a thorn pierced inside our brains and our hearts.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Noted Italian journalist Fallaci (Interview with History; etc.) is capable of hard-hitting, trenchant social criticism, but she fails to accomplish that in this impassioned but sloppy post-September 11 critique, which has been a bestseller in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. Fallaci only aggravates her lack of rigorous thinking by translating the work herself, resulting in a clumsy text that appears not to have been edited or proofread by a fluent English speaker. (Whatever resonance "cicada"-her choice term for the "so-called intellectuals" whom she addresses-has in Italian fails to translate into English.) After a melodramatic preface in which Fallaci congratulates herself on her courage in speaking the truth (and in her defense, apparently there have been efforts to ban the book in France), she lights into the European, and especially Italian, "cicadas" who felt that, on September 11, 2001, America got what she had coming to her and who, in the name of political correctness, fail to condemn the "Reverse Crusade" being waged by Islamic zealots like Osama bin Laden. But Fallaci's love for America, her adopted home, and her critique of European intellectuals' perverse contempt for it, is laced with a bile that may lead readers to suspect her of anti-Arab bias-a possibility she is all to aware of, repeatedly defending herself against the charge of racism. Fallaci's "Italy for Italians" diatribe, her ugly portrait of Muslim immigrants as invading and violating her native Florence ("Terrorists, thieves, rapists. Ex-convicts, prostitutes, beggars. Drug-dealers, contagiously ill"), her denial that there is a moderate Islam, will not sit well with American readers, who may wonder why this small book has, in the publisher's words, "caused a turmoil never registered in decades" in Italy, France and Spain.

About the Author

Oriana Fallaci is Florentine and lives mostly in New York. In awarding her an honorary degree in Literature, the Dean of Chicago's Columbia College defined her "one of the most-read and best-loved writers in the world." As a war-correspondent she has covered the great majority of our time's conflicts: from Vietnam to the Middle East; from the 1956 Hungarian insurrection to the 1970s Latin America upheavals; from the 1968 massacre of Mexico City, where she was seriously wounded, to the Gulf War.

Her books, which include world-known novels, are translated in twenty-one languages and thirty countries. For this American edition she has personally translated The Rage and the Pride in English and added several pages concerning the United States.

A Great Little Book!

November 18, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

“The Rage and The Pride”, first published in the US in 2002, is 187 pages in length and is reportedly book number one in a 3-book trilogy. That said, the books are clearly readable as stand-alone works – which is particularly good as book 3 has not yet been translated into English.

I found “The Rage and The Pride” to be quite the page-turner, having gone from start to finish of its 187 pages in 2 days time. Fallaci says she translated the book from Italian to English herself and, the book's opening, apologized for her use of the English language – an apology that was in no wise needed.

Fallaci’s enthusiasm and candor virtually leap from the book’s pages. That said, if you’re looking for something that in any way smacks of the ‘political correctness’ as presently defined by the political left, this book would likely be rather off-putting. Conversely, if you want to read a book written by a woman who fought fascism in Italy as a kid, was shot/left for dead by police in Mexico City as an adult, went to Viet Nam to personally report on the war and was ultimately the recipient of an imam’s ‘fatwa’ – a fatwa designed to permanently silence Fallaci’s criticism of Islam, then this book will be a most valuable addition to your library!

A Clash of Civilizations

April 24, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book by Ms. Fallaci (a self-described Atheist- Christian), a reporter who has traveled to every hotspot in the World, interviewing one national leader after another, minces no words when it comes to the dangers faced by world wide Islamic terrorism.
She aptly describes the encroaching clash of civilizations, of two cultures - one made up of democrat republics in the West, the other a theological society, based on abject submission.
The two cultures are so diametrically opposed, that it is impossible to blend these factions, without the eventual annihilation of one culture - and increasingly the appeasement of the Western leaders to the demands of Islam is rushing those in the Free World shelter-skelter to their ultimate demise, as if they no longer are willing nor able, to robustly defend their Judeo-Christian roots.
She opens with her observations of being in NYC on September 11, 2001.
Her writing is not for the faint-of heart, nor for those who espouse political correctness, and she backs up her position with one historical event after another.

I found in her a great warrior of truth

December 27, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I cannot say enough for this woman Oriana Fallaci, I did not know about her life or work until one day, this book came on my screen. I found in her a great warrior of truth, she was brave when women had no idea what it really meant. Not one human being could walk away from reading her words without knowing real courage lived.

Europe Tried to Prosecute Ms Fallaci criminally for writing the truth

June 14, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Oriana Fallaci wrote with passion and rage, and spoke the truth about Islamic terrorism, after 9/11. For her honesty the Europeans repaid her with threats of criminal prosecution. It's gotten even worse in Europe today.

Even communists occasionally notice the truth

February 19, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

A communist complains about Islamic culture. That's like a cockroach complaining about all the ants.

After 1400 years of immerserating their people, Muslim societies are being scrutinized and found lacking. Their declining prosperity, lack of creative innovations, and death cult political religion deserves ridicule and scorn. Orianna Fallaci delivers ridicule and scorn, all right.

Important:
Islam is murder driven by vanity (p.63)
The TRUTH is not some middle ground. Islam does not have *some* truth while the west has *some* truth also: Islam is false and immoral.

The Islamic threat to the West

August 11, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

She was born in Italy, and moved to America. She absorbed the lessons of tyranny in Europe of the past.

She wrote this book after the 9/11 destruction of the NYC Twin Towers by the Islamic terrorists. It made a big impact in Europe as some people went and reexamined the impact of them from the Muslim immigrants. She well understands the issue and the threat. She says on page 32: "...because the clash between us and them is not a military clash. Oh, no. It is a cultural one, a religious one. And our military victories do not solve the offensive of Islamic terrorism."

She understands the issue and conveys it in this book. It is a rambling book that at times seems like a stream of consciousness, but for me it is still effective and relevant after all of these years since it was written.
