I'm gonna treasure this book and this author. Man, she can write! She's got the strength, the talent, the courage and the spirit of a warrior, a poet, a decent patriot and freedom lover. She's the best of Israel and the West. This American-Israeli young woman has been on the ground, she knows the people she talks about, she lived what she talks about. She's got the strength of Sampson and the wisdom of Samuel. And the heart of Ruth. I love her.
The themes she writes about are:
-How the Democratic Party has turned to Radical Left positions;
-the de facto existence of the State of Palestine and hos it is run by thugs and heartless criminals, worse than mafia-like;
-the astronomic corruption they have with the billions given them by the UN (the West);
-Israel's political landcape, the names, the facts, the stories;
-the state of affairs in relevant countries like Nigeria, Philippines, Irak, Somalia;
-the Anglican church;
-how US foreign policy is being hijacked by the Saudi family and friends like Condoleeza Rice and Robert Graves;
-constructive feedback on how to win the peace in Irak;
-Vietnam revisited in brief;
-anti-Jewish media in America and how they operate;
-the Iran threat;
-the social landscape of Israel, the state of their freedoms, the tyranny of their Supreme Court, a who's who in Israel;
-the role of the press in Irak, undermining America's effort, causing more lives to be lost than saved by their stupid falling in for the enemy's propaganda;
-the intelligentuse of propaganda by the Palestinians and how their willing serfs in the leftist media in America succumb to their deathly charm;
-the totalitarian state of the Academia in Israel and America, a de facto harakiri of Israel. Asked about the rampant anti-semitism on European campuses, the president of the University of Paris says: "What do you want from us? All we are doing is repeating what we hear from Israeli profesors." Absolute intolerance for the notion that professors with right-wing or even centrist views should be allowed to teach in their departments (of Tel Aviv University): "Over my dead body!" said one professor;
-how Al-Hurra Television started out, financed by American tax-payer money, as a liberal, pro-American alternative to Al-Jazeera, and soon allowed itself to be used as a platform by terrorists from Hezbollah right after former CNN producer Larry Register took control;
-testimonies from the troops on the ground in Irak, the humble silent heroes of the West: "No matter what you do for these people they are going to hate us because they are jealous of what we have. These people haven't made a decent contribution to humanity for over a thousand years. They hate us for our accomplishements.", "hopefully, she'll understand (the soldier's little daughter) that America doesn't exist because of selfishness, but because of individuals who made sacrifices for the greater good." Regretfully, many adults in the Left don't want to understand it.
About the author's stay with the Army in Irak: "I don't know what made me decide to come here, when the opportunity arose, I said yes without a second doubt. But I do know what I am getting out of this experience. I have found my America. And I have discovered that I can never leave Israel. It sits inside of me, stengthens me, and comforts me to the center of my soul."
This girl is too much to be true, but thank God she is true! Boy, she can write, poetically and patriotically.

For anyone who wants to know what is really going on in the Middle East, they only need to read Caroline Glick's "Shackled Warrior." Heartfelt, insightful, and verifiably accurate, Caroline takes the interested observer on a journey through the deceit and lies that Israel-haters and their comrades, the UN, the media, Jimmy Carter (and now, it would seem, Obama) et al, foist on the uninformed masses. The history is there for everyone to see, if they would only take the time to research. For instance, in a very basic tone, the so-called Palestinians already have a homeland; it's called Jordan. But try finding THAT on CNN. Tragically, the current events that unfold on the nightly news are fraught with misinformation and backhanded affronts to the miracle that is the nation of Israel. Non-Jews who do not live in Israel, like me, cannot fathom what it is like to reside in a tiny country surrounded by millions of thugs who's only mission is to bring about its utter destruction. If so inclined, you may enlighten yourself by reading Caroline's book. In baseball-speak, "Shackled Warrior" is a home run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for those who want to understand what's really at stake for Israel and the West in the battle against global terror

I completely agree with Shalom Freedman's assessment - Caroline B. Glick's "Shackled Warrior: Israel and the Global Jihad" is required reading for anyone genuinely interested in a deeper understanding of what is at stake for Israel and the West in the fight against Global Terrorism. Ms. Glick, an incisive and perceptive writer, provides readers with a depth of analysis that most "experts" on the subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict never approach. Glick's writings challenge commonly-held misperceptions about the nature and status of the conflict(s) between Israel and her enemies, yet also raise important questions about Israel's relationship with allies such as the United States, and our places on the world stage. Every word of her writing "tells." I have found no author better informed on the subject than Caroline Glick, and quite possibly no volume better at analyzing the issues than "Shackled Warrior," a highly-readable collection of her work that is difficult to set aside. Five stars is not enough - highest recommendation.

Insight to what is happening with Israel has opened my eyes to a different perspective which Caroline Glick, from her own point of view, has written. I love it, worthy of having in your library. A very articulate and intelligent woman who is able to tell her story where anyone can understand where she is coming from. Understanding the Israeli and Palestinian conflict which Caroline outlines in her book is indeed very provocative, and no doubt her critics will have a field day where this book is concerned. With her research and history involved with the making of this book it allows one to have very passionate debates with friends. I am pro Israel and this book has confirmed my paradigm. Thank you Caroline for a great read. A must read,

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound analyses in plain language

Caroline Glick is one of the best commentators on the Arab-Israeli conflict for two reasons. One, she does not follow path of political correctness and is not appologetic about defending what is right and just and attacking what is not. Second, Glick seeks to explore deeper philosophical, cultural, linguistic, religious, ideological and other issues behind the events she comments; she does it with great wisdom and insight, and presents it in plain language.
Carolin Glick would be one of 10 authors covering the field of the current Middle East, that I would consult and recommend.
