The 'Shackled Warrior' is a collection of articles written by Caroline Glick originally for "The Jerusalem Post." She has chosen some of her articles and has placed them into categories that comprise the chapters of the book. Her articles speak not just to political and cultural currents in Israel, but in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Her articles show she has an understanding of the strategic importance of the events she writes about. And when you look at the dates of the articles you see that her insights were correct. This journalist allows you to gain a clear and precise understanding on complex situations that have been allowed to take place to enable the terrorist and explains this as a struggle for freedom over oppression; right over wrong. She is also critical of her own adopted country that she loves. Israel's policies of appeasement over the last two decades and its own part in the enablement of terrorist. The articles show the strength of the citizens and soldiers of the United States and Israel and the self-serving and destructive policies of the "enlightened" elite of these countries and Europe. Of course in this complicity of the 'enlightened elite' falls most of the mass media that she explains empowers Palestinian and Arab propaganda tactics to work. Most of the world media seems not only willing but eager to put forth the terrorist propaganda and hide or subvert the truth. It was a pleasure to read columns by a real journalist that does not worry about political correctness, but has an emphasis and concern on being correct with the facts presented in her columns. Glick is up front in her desire to insure the security of Israel and is cognizant of the true threats the nation face. Born in the United States, educated at Harvard and having served as a member of the Israeli Defense Forces gives her a good understanding about her subject material. She also worked as an embedded journalist with an American mechanized Infantry unit at the beginning of 'Operation Iraq Freedom' and gives a very clear view on the American soldiers view on the war and what they face as they moved quickly forward. If the free world's fight against Terror is of importance to you this book has to be on you reading list.Read full review
