Summary: Great read
Review: What I enjoyed most about reading Sean's book is its concise history of evil regimes, and the steps that liberal appeasing governments took to try to combat them. Thanks to liberal appeaser Neville Chamberlain, for example, who promised 'peace,' countless millions died in World War II. Liberal Demoncrats like John Fonda Kerry spent years appeasing the "Evil Empire" called the Soviet Union, but it took a real leader who understood evil, Ronald Reagan, to defeat and tear down that evil system that murdered millions. Let's be honest (hard thing for you libs), the reason you hate Sean's book is:
1. You hate God.
2. You hate our country.
3. You hate Truth!You libs should skip buying this book - you lazy slobs wouldn't take the time to read it anyway. You might as well spend your money on books by your hero, Karl Marx.

Summary: Good Information with a Few Flaws
Review: I just finished reading Deliver Us from Evil (I'm in school and did not have time to read it before spring break). I am pleased with the book overall, even though it has a few problems. Just so you know my bias, I have been a strong conservative for the last three or four years. I listen to Sean Hannity when I get a chance, which isn't often anymore. SYNOPSIS In chapters 2-4 of Deliver Us from Evil, Hannity does an excellent job of showcasing political evil in the world during the 20th century. He details nations' reactions to such incidents as Nazi Germany's aggression, the fall of the Shah the Ayatollah's rise to power in Iran, the buildup of the Soviet bloc, and Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. He identifies who confronted evil (Churchill, FDR, Reagan, George H.W. Bush) and who appeased it (Neville Chamberlain, Carter). Next, in chapters 5-8, Hannity applies those lessons learned throughout the 20th century to the 1990s and the 21st century. He illustrates how the Clintons, during their presidency, opted for the Chamberlain-Carter path and allowed evil to persist, grow, and recruit followers. He mentions that the United Nations has followed the same path for a very long time. He also shows that President George W. Bush has confronted evil, much like Churchill and Reagan did, and has left the world safer as a result of standing up to al Qaeda and Saddam. Hannity recommends that we continue to elect leaders who will confront evil, not only because such confrontation works, but because it is morally right. Chapter 9 and the epilogue are essentially detailed lists. First, Hannity explains why none of the 2004 Democrat presidential candidates is suitable for strong defense (at the time of writing, no primaries had happened, so it was not known that John F. Kerry would be the nominee). Then, in the epilogue, Hannity lists rogue nations and terror organizations with whom we need to deal in the near future before they deal with us. This material is extremely relevant, especially in the wake of yesterday's horrific terror attacks in Madrid. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES I like the book, for two main reasons. First, while it won't win any converts from the far left, it will make decent people think about the need to oppose evil, including political and terrorist evil. Hannity states that Republicans are united in opposing evil, that Democrats are united in being on both sides of the issue, and that Republicans are correct on this particular issue. There is good and there is evil, not several shades of gray, and we should fight evil with force. There is a time for diplomacy but not at the risk of our security. This is Hannity's most important point, and he makes it brilliantly. Second, Hannity's book voices a grievance that I have had against the anti-war left for a while. The grievance is that it is unreasonable to think that Saddam did not have any weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Chapter 8, "Playing Politics at the Water's Edge," shows how the Democrats are pretending that there are no WMDs and using that non-fact to their political advantage. With everything we know about the materials and documents found after the war, as well as Saddam's expulsion of UN weapons inspectors years ago, no honest person can say that Saddam did not have WMDs. Yet the Democrats are saying just that en masse, as Hannity illustrates. If they cared about the nation and not just about political power, they would not say, "Why did we attack Iraq if there were no WMDs?" Instead, they would say, "Where in the world are the WMDs, and why haven't we found them yet?" This issue should scare Americans to death, but the Democrats twist it to oppose the President. I'm glad that Hannity is saying this, because President Bush hasn't had the presence of mind to push it. While I'm impressed with the book, I'm unimpressed by two features of the book. First, I feel that Hannity is too strong in condemning the Clintons for Saddam's atrocities and for September 11. I agree that the Clintons should have stood up to evil more when they were in power. But early in the book, Hannity talks about personal responsibility for evil choices, and he is inconsistent when he then blames the Clintons for things like September 11. The terrorists and the dictators are responsible for the attacks and the atrocities. I cannot blame the Clintons for those. Second, the literary style is unprofessional and amateurish in some ways. There are typographical errors (things spellcheck doesn't catch, like "an" instead of "at") and grammar problems, and while these don't make the content less important, they distract the reader. Also, the writing is more informal than I expected, the type I would expect if I were reading a really deep article in Sports Illustrated. A hardcover book is not a pop magazine or a radio show, and I expected more professionalism. An editor could have and should have caught things like this because they distract from the book's important content. CONCLUSION This is a fine book packed with good information on the evils of terrorism, despotism, and liberalism, and why they must be defeated. Hannity won't win many new friends, but he does fire up the base with his second book. I strongly recommend reading it if you have sincere doubts about the War on Terror.

Summary: A "Must Read" for every American!
Review: No matter what your ideology, this book is a valuable eye-opener for every American. Sean Hannity gives a brilliant assessment of where this country is and where it is headed. If we as Americans don't wake up soon, we could lose everything we value. He tackles terrorism and lays it all on the line, shaking you to your core. He exposes liberals and the way they are undermining our values, morals and freedoms.
Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or member of another party, you should read this book and take note of the common sense within it's covers. There is no meaness or anger here, just flat out facts that every American needs to ponder.
I highly recommend this book as well as his other one. Do yourself a favor and read it, then pass it on to your kids.

Review: If you the like the corporate president of America, this is the book for you. Sell, sell, sell away the country, sell away American jobs. Let's cut the budget for education more, and expect the schools to spent even more money on frequent standardized tests. And where are those wmd's?

Summary: Deliver us from liberalism
Review: No sophomore jinx here. Sean Hannity has written a highly poignant and thought-provoking work that makes a great read for anyone even remotely interested in politics.
Hannity pens a truly gripping and necessarily provocative chapter entitled Evil on Record that duly debunks the liberals' fallacious assertion that ruthless dictators such as Saddam, Osama, & Kim Jong Il are not just nice people whom we should insouciantly appease. They are, indubitably, evil people who HAVE committed evil deeds which are beyond the pale. Have the liberals learned from the appeasement-minded Neville Chamberlain? Appeasement with ruthless tyrannical dictators is not a solution -- it's a recipe for disaster. As Hannity says, "Excuse me for letting my face get in the way of your boot, Mr. Hussein." Much to my chagrin, the liberals, with their inexplicable accommodation to madmen, are sometimes just as guilty in fueling the fire of terrorism. As Hannity astutely states, "Accommodation only leads to escalation. No brutal dictator will ever be persuaded to give up his dreams of universal power simply because it's the right thing to do." The Democratic Party, "which has become increasingly hostile and antagonistic and decreasingly rational," has no definitive position on anything except....well..how to flip-flop and castigate President Bush ad nauseam. Deliver Us From Evil is a book that truly resonates with unmistakable vibrancy and moral clarity. Order it today.

Summary: Good But
Review: After reading the book's title, I realized that a large number of neg. criticisms would be hysterical responses by those who see themselves as terrorists, despots, and liberals. (ah, juh.. OK)
The title is provocative but the book itself is pretty standard fare if you listen to Sean at all. He has researched people, events pretty well. I think he succeeded in the task he set himself. I gave him 4 stars and not 5. Ammunition for debate on people and character issues there is a plenty. There is an historical over view that is necessarily brief but shallow... especially for those of us in the late boomer generation who had decent history books and teachers, or lived through some of the events. The books description of evil doesn't dig into the diff.world view underpinnings that informs and guides today's evil. He does focus on character but a clarification of the dramatically different world views would be helpful.What I think would have been helpful... without going into extensive philosophical underpinnings, is a clear outline of the foundations that supports the differences about what is true; what is a lie. What is it that underlies the differences between the opponents values (which never change) ? What are the priorities (which can and do change) about which the 2 sides are dramatically at odds in America in light of those differing values? All sides use the same words but such different meanings.If you remove immigration and their different cultures, we still have tremendous cultural differences colliding... just among WASPS! In so far as it goes,the book IS helpful in the discussion and worth the money.
