Writer and Journalist Oriana Fallaci dies at 75
Yesterday in Florence ...
Maybe not too well known in the Anglo-American countries her works had a considerable impact in her native Italy, but also certainly in Germany, Austria, France and other European countries. This sometimes controversial writer who as a young woman fought the N.azis as a partisan during WWII ranked high among the important minds of the second half of the 20th century. She wasn't easily fed by simplistic explanations and a constant pain in the neck for autocratic decision makers in Italy and elsewhere (ask Henry K.!).
We'll surely miss Oriana! Please bother to check her up in Wikipedia and see her impressive list of publications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriana_Fallaci
