Oriana Fallaci is back with her much-anticipated follow up
to The Rage and the Pride, her powerful post-September 11
manifesto. The genesis for The Force of Reason was a
postscript entitled Due Anni Dopo (Two Years Later), which
was intended as a brief appendix to the thirtieth edition of
The Rage and the Pride (2002). Once Ms. Fallaci completed
the postscript, she chose to expand it into a book, a
continuation of her ideas set in motion in The Rage and the
Pride.In The Force of Reason Fallaci takes aim at the many
attacks and death threats she received after the publication
of The Rage and the Pride. Ms. Fallaci begins by identifying
herself with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical
book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition seven
centuries ago on account of his beliefs, and proceeds with a
rigorous analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of
a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar
homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a
soon-to-be colony of Islam (with Italy as its stronghold).
Ms. Fallaci explores her ideas in historical, philosophical,
moral, and political terms, courageously addressing taboo
topics with sharp logic.
