Excellent book by an excellent woman.
Signed copy by Brigitte Gabriel on 10 October 2007 ( )

The author begins the book discussing her childhood growing up as a Christian in Lebanon up until her town was attacked by muslims. Not just the land was destroyed, but her way of life as well as the way of life for everyone in the town.
When she was a teenager after an attack her mother was wounded very badly and had to be taken to a hospital. The mother was taken to Israel. She had a chance to see Israel care for everyone regardless of race or nationality. At this age her eyes were opened to the true conflict of the war raging in her country and the lies she had been told in the media.
The beginning is a bit repetitious, but the flow becomes better when she's an adult and discusses the problems with being politically correct and the serious threat to America.
The book is very informative. ( )

Ms Gabriel is a journalist who was an anchor for World News who grew up in war torn Lebanon during the war in 1975. She is an Arab Christian. She is passionate to tell the message that United States is at risk of further attacks by radical Islam. Ms Gabriel believes that the U.S. stance of tolerance is resulting in the US to be an easy prey and to be unaware of the dangers. In this 10 hour audio, the author tells her own story of survival, the history of Lebanon, Arab and Israeli conflict. Because of her passion and her unwillingness to be politically correct she has been widely criticized. But is this worth listening to? I think so, I think we need to be well informed and if we only hear one side or if we are afraid to question the policies then we might be guilty of apathy and as the author states, "social paranoia discourages free thought and expression. This book could have used some editing. She repeats herself quite a bit throughout the book. A written copy would be valuable that the audio as it is so much easier to research all the information that the author has collected. Ms Gabriel is a US citizen now and because of her past she is extremely passionate that what happened to Lebanon not happen here. ( )

Brigette Gabriel's personal experience during the Lebanese civil war (four years primarily in a bomb shelter with her aging parents) and her warning about the dangers of Islam. What resonated with me was her questioning of why moderate muslim leaders in free countries such as the US were not speaking out and condemning the actions of the Islam radicals. Her personal experience and study also connected thirty years of terrorism leading up to 9/11, of which I had not seen the progression before. The warnings are very similar to those found in The end of America as we know it - and raise the question about political correctness in the face of terrorism. ( )

Chilling first-hand account of a Lebanese Christian that survived a civil war and grew up under Muslim domination. Couldn't put it down. ( )
