Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism Paperback – February 17, 2004
Purchase options and add-ons
The hard-hitting and provocative first book from the fastest-rising conservative voice in the country
Sean Hannity is the hottest phenomenon in TV and talk radio today. His gutsy, take-no-prisoners interviews and commentary on the Fox News Channel’s Hannity & Colmes has made him one of the network’s most popular personalities. And his ascendance to the top of the talk radio world with ABC Radio’s The Sean Hannity Show has won him a huge and devoted conservative following, and ensured his place alongside Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly as one of the country’s most influential commentators.
Now, in Let Freedom Ring, Sean Hannity offers a survey of the world―political, social, and cultural―as he sees it. Drawing on stories from his own life, and on the inspiration of political figures like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, he recounts the experiences that have shaped his perspective on the dramatic issues that face America today:
• Terrorism and National Security
• The Economy
• Liberal Media Bias
• Education
• Faith, Character, and the Family
As America meets the challenges of the post-9/11 world―abroad and at home―Sean Hannity’s position is clear: “We are engaged in a war of ideas. And we must win. Civilization itself is at stake.”

From the Inside Flap
As Americans, we face two fundamental questions:
First, are we truly prepared to fight this new war to wipe out terrorism and terrorist regimes, and win it decisively -- no matter what sacrifices it requires or how long it takes?
Second, are we once again prepared to teach our children the fundamental principles and values that make this country great -- the values that make this country worth fighting for, living for, and dying for?
Sean Hannity is the hottest new phenomenon in TV and talk radio today. His gutsy, take-no-prisoners interviews and commentary on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes have made him one of cable television's most popular personalities. And his ascendance to the top of the talk radio world with ABC Radio's The Sean Hannity Show has won him a huge and devoted following that includes not only conservatives but anyone else who values straight talk over pandering and excuses.
Now, in Let Freedom Ring, Sean Hannity offers a survey of the world -- political, social, and cultural -- as he sees it. Devoting special attention to 9/11, the war on terror, and the continuing threat we face at home and abroad, he makes clear that the greatest challenge we have to overcome may not be an attack from overseas, but the slow compromising of our national character. And he asks why, particularly in this time of war, should we entrust our future to the voices of the Left -- the very people who have spent decades ravaging so many of our core values and traditions?
Our nation, as Hannity reminds us, was founded on the idea of freedom. And in order to protect our freedoms, he argues, we must stand vigilant against liberal attempts to compromise our strengths. From our military and intelligence forces, to our borders and airports, to our unified commitment to root out terrorists at home and abroad, he reveals how our strongest lines of defense have come under attack -- by left-wing voices within our government, media, schools, and elsewhere. And he shows how even domestic issues like taxation, education, patriotism, and the family have been exploited by liberals with their own agendas -- with potentially disastrous results.
Filled with the commonsense commentary and passionate argument that have made Sean Hannity the most compelling conservative voice since Rush Limbaugh, Let Freedom Ring is an urgent call to arms. For, as Hannity warns, We are engaged in a war of ideas. And civilization is at stake.

Sean Hannity speaks for the common man and woman, the average American citizen, the silent but suffering true mainstream entity in a world of the rich, famous and the powerful left.
All that he says in this book does represents the raging frustrations held inside a great many Americans, well at least three quarters of them. One quarter of the America people is left, one quarter is right, one quarter is too young to vote or care, and the other quarter is too disinterested or disgusted to participate.
Screaming about who has the most popular vote is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors, because the above analysis is the truth. That means that nearly 70 million people who could vote do not vote. Certainly enough to be the true deciders of the political agenda in America. Add to them the multiple millions of American Servicemembers deployed around the world who do not get to vote and any percieved popular mandate would seem insignificant by the left.
Sean wrote a fine book here, worthy of review by both sides, and it is an interesting, yes compassinate conservative, and slightly abrasive book. But no worse than out there from either side. He simply tries to counter the bias, we the people, see twenty-four seven in the many forms of media, intertainment and news that get sent into our homes every day.
"Let Freedom Ring" is a quick and easy read, meaningfull and touching. I applaud Sean for adding this to the list of books on the market to help America find itself. Great Job Sean.
I am anxiously awaiting Sean's counterpart Allan's book, which must surely be in the making. I am sure it will be a good read as well.
These books include Michael Moore's Stupid White Men (left), Bernard Goldberg's Bias (moderate-to-right), Ann Coulter's Slander (each day more and more clearly the work of someone on the far right), Bill O'Reilly's two books (moderate-to-right) and now Sean Hannity's Let Freedom Ring (classically conservative). These authors don't claim to be objective (although Coulter's book title and theme suggested she was trying but she has undermined her credibility due to her slashing style and joke about wishing Timothy McVeigh had blown up the New York Times).
These black-and-white-no-gray-areas-allowed books (on the right AND left) are written for The Choir. Those who don't agree are painted as totally wrong, dangerous, dumb or insidious. So: can Sean Hannity make a case to independent voters (like me) and convince Political Infidels that perhaps some of his arguments are correct? Actually, I think so. I LOVED most of this book.
Hannity makes the conservative case well, with a minimum attacks on his foes character, sex-lives or motives. He only undermines his case when he reverts to
all-who-disagree-with-us-don't-care-about-security-education-or-values mode, but the bulk of the book is less about attack than making scoring points (although in a book the foes can't argue back).
"Our (conservative) views are consistent because we believe in absolute truths and in the essential soundness, even righteousness of the founders vision of government,' he writes. "...The left may be sincere, but they're sincerely wrong. And they must be challenged and defeated if we are to win this war on terror and preserve our way of life for this and future generations."
He says Democratic/liberal polices are "not just wrongheaded; they're reckless" but stresses that "I'm not saying that liberals...and many of the elitists in academia and the media are evil. I'm saying they have a disturbing habit of winking at evil, or ignoring it, or turning a blind eye to it. And in doing so they put us all in jeopardy."
Especially interesting parts:
--His argument that the Clinton administration dropped the ball on a series of terrorism-related issues and a chance to get Osama bin Laden..
--His contention that from the 70s on there was a "vast left wing conspiracy" to defang the CIA, despite warnings that it would leave the US unprepared.
--His career story, how he was infuriated over Oliver North's treatment during Iran-Contra and therefore became a vocal and provocative talk-radio show caller, then decided it was his life's calling. His national radio show debuted Sept 10, 2001 -- and due to his style and 911's tragedy became a hit.
Like all the other books on the right and left, his key flaw and a strength with those who already agree with him is when he lumps all opponents together, discounting that they might wish to improve things, too. The Democrats, he says, "turn a blind eye to the country's need to boost the economy, create new jobs, find new sources of energy and become more self sufficient" -- never suggesting that perhaps they merely seek a different approach to making things better.
To Hannity, all Republicans act due to their firm values; all Democrats act on focus group results. He insists national security should "remain above politics" but steadfastly defends White House political director Karl Rove's urging Republicans to run as the best party to safely protect Americans in wartime.
Even so, Let Freedom Ring IS a homerun since even for an independent (like me) Hannity presents most of his case without slash-and-burn personal attacks or appealing to the worst in anyone. It's impossible to imagine Sean Hannity jokingly wishing that his those who don't agree with him be blown to bloody bits by a terrorist (right or left).
In his shows and in Let Freedom Ring Hannity seemingly ENJOYS debating ideas and the political game. In this, he resembles MSNBC Hardball host and author Chris Mathews
and Fox News' and author Bill O'Riley (both excellent authors) more than Coulter or even conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Let Freedom Ring lambastes liberals without having contempt for or detesting them. That's refreshing and why I look forward to Hannity's next book. Hannity's not mired in an angry slash-and-burn mode -- he wants to WIN the DEBATE on values...which you can't do if your debating opponents are blown up.
