Nearly three years have passed since that tragic day in September. Since then, our wounds have healed, but our senses and memories have dulled. At first, the nation rallied behind its leader. But by the time the confrontation with Iraq presented itself, our courage and moral certainty seemed to fade in the face of partisan bickering and posturing. Now the political left and the Democratic Party are trying to use the demanding aftermath of the war to exploit our national cause for their own political advantage. How could we allow ourselves to forget so soon? --from Deliver Us from Evil Sean Hannity's first blockbuster book, the New York Times bestseller Let Freedom Ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As the host of the phenomenally successful Hannity & Colmes on the Fox News Channel and The Sean Hannity Show on ABC Radio, Hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing War on Terror abroad -- and liberalism at home -- in Deliver Us from Evil. "Evil exists," Hannity asserts. "It is real, and it means to harm us." And in these pages he revisits the harsh lessons America has learned in confronting evil in the past and the present, to illuminate the course we must take in the future. Tracing a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party -- from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton. As Americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean Hannity reminds us that we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home. With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of putting our faith in toothless "multilateralism" when the times call for decisive action. For only through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in the dangerous twenty-first century.… (plus d'informations)
Sean Hannity wrote this book in the midst of the campaigns prior to the 2004 presidential primaries. I'm rather late in picking up the book since we've already been through the 2008 elections. I expected the book to be dated, but I found that only about the last third had lost most of its relevance. While the book's main purpose seems to be to present an argument for the re-election of George W. Bush, Hannity builds his case by reviewing the major conflicts of the twentieth century from World War II through the Cold War, the first Gulf War, and the events leading up to 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I didn't learn anything new from the book, but found it to be a useful refresher of mid to late 20th century history and a reminder not to get caught up in the emotions of the moment, but to take a long view of current events. I don't know whether the book convinced any undecided voters to vote for George Bush in 2004, but I suspect that Hannity's arguments were persuasive mostly to those who already shared his world view.

Horrible book.This book is a waste of paper, and time. It's comparable to the books ghostwritten for any of the celebrity-politico-talking heads such as Ann Coulter, Alan Colmes, Bill O'reilly, Rush Limbaugh or even Michael Moore and Al Franken. This book is a great example of how not to write a political commentary as he states his opinion early on in the book with no legitimate 'evidence' to back it up. Then proceeds for 300 pages to repeat his mantra over and over as if it will become true. Any 'current events' that he discusses are essentially debunked or outdated by facts released within six months of the book. And it's filled with grammatical errors (he calls the hutu tribe in Rwanda the Tutu's, and not on purpose) All of this would be somewhat excusable if he could be entertaining(like Moore and Franken), but he's not. He thinks he's spewed out some serious political analysis for his ghost writer to put in book format, but really it sounds more like a whining child throwing a tantrum and repeatedly insisting that he's right. He either needs to hire a new ghostwriter or else he needs to grow out of 5th grade. ( )

I wrote this book to sound an alarm - - as a warning to my fellow patriots about the left's undying commitment to turn America into a land our grandparents, founders, and framers wouldn't recognize.
