The speeches were assembled by Professor Bruce Lawrence, an Arabist at Duke University. He opens the book with an anti-America, anti-Israeili diatribe because he is of the radical left-wing blame America mindset. The publisher is Verso, the largest radical left-wing publish in the English-language world. This is hardly pro-American book. I'd suggest you read it and do some thinking before quoting some bs blog written by a 23 yr old.
