Brigitte Gabriel

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.… (mer)
