Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism Paperback – 28 April 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
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 EvilSean 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.

Contrary to the above review by Mr Burt of Stockholm, Mr Hannity is neither a "racist" or "extremist" he is a fiercely patriotic man with strong convictions and beliefs.
In the book Sean analizes the effect of terrorism and liberal attitudes toward terrorism he continues by making observations on "defeating" both and how the two, whilst differing vastly in methodology, seek the same end; the destuction of Capitalism and freedom.
Well done Sean, another masterpiece!
NOTE TO LIBERALS: If you don't want your entire belief system undermined and discredited DON'T READ THIS BOOK!:-)

And although Saddam didn't kill 7+ million people like Hitler, he did murder hundreds of thousands of his own people - many with WMD - and still would be today had we not stepped in. And I thought the Democrats were the "compassionate" party? Do you really think the Iraqis want tyranny over democracy? They want to be free like us...which we all too often take for granted. Right now the majority in Iraq is scared of the extremists in the rebellion that we are successfully quelling. And remember, democracy can't be accomplished over night. We occupied Germany for something like 7 years after the fall of the Nazis. Japan's also doing pretty well these days...despite our wrath after Pearl Harbor.
If you still think Bush "mislead" or "betrayed" us or "rushed to war" in Iraq, Hannity asks if Saddam didn't have WMD then why did he act in defiance? He says the more intellectually honest question is "where are they?" Many Democrats are still in this Pre-9/11 mindset. However I think the majority of people understand why our new PROactive approach to terrorism is the only way to ensure long-term peace and prosperity in not only this country but the whole world. If there's one thing we learned from 9-11 it's that the same old "wait and see" or "hope for the best" policies are not only naive but also dangerous. We don't have the luxury to wait until a threat is "imminent" which is why preemptive force was used on a "gathering" threat.
BUT.....................he backs what he does say here with FACTS - not just words.
If you need a reality check (and we all do from time to time). This is the book for it!
I read it in just two days. It's a page turner.
Sean takes us back to the Carter Adminsitration and shows us how in only four years, ONE MAN, with a failed foreign policy, endangered America for years to come.
Sean demonstrates how the Clinton Adminsitration was ineffectual in protecting us from terror - although he paid lip service to it - he never actually DID anything about it.
He shows us how the Liberals (no longer democratic) party along with their media coherts are jeaparding our national security and our lives. He explains WHY being outside our own borders and CARING and DOING something about what happens oceans away is important to us. I always thought we should not send one man or woman to war unless it affected us directly. Sean shows us just HOW it DOES affect us directly.
Sean also shows how our own government is underminining President Bushs' war on Terror. Instead of Osama Bin Laden, Suddam Hessein and any leader that harbors terrorists being targeted as an enemy against America, the LIberal Left, along with the media have G.W. Bush in their sights as enemy #1.
The long review: I actually READ this book - it is obvious that many people who have "reviewed" it did not! Sean lays out his case that the liberal left is politicizing the War on Terrorism in it's desperate attempt to regain power in a post-9/11 America. It is despicable!!! Evil does exist and while Sean is not asserting that liberals are evil, I assert that many are. Our sons and daughters are prosecuting this war on foreign soil, putting themselves in harm's way on a daily basis - many offering up the ultimate sacrifice - and instead of rallying around our wartime president, the liberal politicians are undermining him in every conceivable way. Did 9/11 teach us NOTHING?? Have we forgotten so quickly what evil was wrought on our very way of life on that beautiful sunny September morning?
Sean backs up his assertions with documented evidence. The book is an easy read, a page turner, and an eye-opener!! I agree with Sean that God made sure that George W. Bush was in the right place and the right time in history - as surely as Churchhill, FDR and JFK.
Thank you Sean for letting it like it is and choosing to fight this particular battle.
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.
