# Oriana Fallaci

## Bio

Fallaci joined the Italian resistance as a teenager during World War II, then built a career covering war and revolution from the ground. In 1968, Mexican soldiers shot her three times and left her for dead; she survived and kept returning to conflict zones. Her book Interview with History collected sit-downs with figures like Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Yasser Arafat, the Shah of Iran, and Ruhollah Khomeini — encounters that became notorious for how far she pushed. After retiring in New York, the September 11th attacks pulled her back: she wrote articles and books sharply critical of Islam that found a wide audience and drew accusations of Islamophobia.
