The Rage and the Pride

"The Rage and the Pride" ("La Rabbia e l’Orgoglio" in Italian) is a book written in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks by the late Italian journalist and author Oriana Fallaci. The book questions stated tenets of Islam and its practice, condemns totalitarian forces bent on destroying liberal Western society and civilisation, and rails against apathy regarding the immediate threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism.

The book was originally a series of articles written for national Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The book has been a bestseller in Italy and Europe, where it has sold over 1.5 million copies.
